Ecotourism in Costa Rica: Experience Nature Up Close!

Do you dream of sleeping under the stars on a secluded beach or being woken by the howls of monkeys in the jungle? In Costa Rica, your dreams come true! Forget the usual hotels and discover a new way to travel: ecotourism!

Glamping: Luxury in the Wilderness

If you want to combine comfort and adventure, glamping is just the thing for you. Imagine sleeping in a luxurious tent with all the comforts in the middle of a natural paradise. Wake up to a delicious breakfast with a view of the ocean or mountains and enjoy activities such as outdoor yoga, hiking or horseback riding.

Camping in a Campervan: Freedom on Four Wheels

Would you prefer to travel flexibly and independently? Then rent a campervan and explore Costa Rica on your own! Here you can experience camping in a different way: in Costa Rica, the adventure goes off-road! With a 4x4 campervan you can conquer the most remote corners of the country and sleep wherever you like best.

Wooden Cabins: Rustic Charm

If you prefer more traditional accommodation, wooden cabins offer you the rustic charm and closeness to nature you are looking for. Enjoy the tranquility of the forest, wake up to the sound of birdsong and relax on your own terrace with a view of the greenery.

Connect with Nature

Costa Rica offers you countless opportunities to experience nature:

  • Hiking: How about a hike across Costa Rica? Discover the breathtaking diversity of the landscape as you hike from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
  • Bird watching: Admire the incredible variety of birds that live in the country, such as toucans, hummingbirds and macaws.
  • Kayaking and rafting: Explore the rivers and canals by kayak or enjoy the adrenaline rush of whitewater rafting.
  • Yoga and meditation: Find inner peace in the midst of nature with outdoor yoga and meditation classes.

National Parks and Slow Tourism
