Why We Like It:
We can’t get enough of Costa Rica for one main reason, its eco-tourism. There really isn’t anywhere in the world that delivers a whole slew of adventures related to the natural side of things in a country that is all in all just so perfect. It’s not everyday you can catch a surf in the morning, visit a volcano in the afternoon and go on a zip-line adventure and then go on a night tour of the countryside all in one day, and this is why we can’t get enough of this place.
