Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

Can you believe there are over 800+ miles of Pacific coastline in Costa Rica? It’s true. This is a beach lover’s paradise! The white or black sanded beaches are bordered with tropical forests that are full of wildlife: monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans, hummingbirds, and hundreds of bird and insect species. And, if you’re not the type to spend the day basking in the sun, you will be pleased to know that there is never a shortage of water sports to be played in the year-round warm waters: surfing, boogie boarding, jet skiing, para sailing, fishing and much much more.

The majority of the seaside villages offer a variety of delicious restaurants and cafes, and vendors circle the beaches with cold drinks, fresh fruit, and other goodies.
