Hotels in Costa Rica

Costa Rica holds around five percent of the world's known species on a third of a percent of its land, and it has protected roughly a quarter of its territory to keep it that way. The result is a country where you can watch lava-scarred Arenal from a hot spring, walk suspension bridges through the Monteverde cloud forest, spot sloths and scarlet macaws in Manuel Antonio, and surf both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts within a week. It abolished its army in 1948 and runs almost entirely on renewable electricity, and the pura vida attitude is not just marketing.
