Reasons To
Visit Costa Rica

  • Adventure activities

    Whilst Costa Rica is famed for its natural beauty, there are also plenty of ways to explore the country for those seeking a bit more of an adrenalin rush. Canopy zip-line tours, white water rafting, quad biking along deserted Pacific beaches, horseriding, hiking to pristine lakes and forests, mountain biking and kayaking are just a few of the options available.

  • Ecotourism

    Costa Rica has long been heralded as a pioneer in ecotourism, with over a quarter of the country being protected as a national park or reserve. Whilst many hotels elsewhere in the world will wave the ecotourism flag with little or no real credentials, things are different in Costa Rica, where hotels can gain accreditation from a national board for implementing green practices.

  • Turtles

    July to October is the nesting season for the endangered Green Turtle, when the turtles come up on to Tortuguero beach at night to lay their eggs. It is possible to arrange trips at night to witness this fantastic natural phenomenon, and it really is a wonderful sight to see these peaceful giants so close up.

  • Volcanoes

    There are over 200 volcanoes in Costa Rica, many remaining active and fascinating to explore. Their landscapes range from dramatic jagged moonscapes to verdant tropical rainforest, conical in shape to rugged and barren with ancient magma flows and crater lakes. At Arenal, in particular, you may even be able to glimpse live lava flows and hear gas eruptions.

  • White water rafting

    Rafting in Costa Rica is simply spectacular and there are numerous places to try it, suitable for all levels. The Pacuare River, in particular, is the most challenging. It is a thrilling experience in a stunning setting as the surrounding tropical rainforest provides your backdrop for this adventure, complete with narrow gulleys and beautiful waterfalls along the way.

El Remanso

Corcovado & Osa Peninsula

El Remanso consists of 12 cabins built on a steep hill that runs down to the coast. Each room is simple but very comfortable and extremely spacious, and there is a restaurant with stunning views as well as a small pool in which you can relax.

As you would expect from a wildlife destination like this, the lodge offers all the excursions you might wish from early morning bird watching to late night tours of the forest at night. They also offer waterfall rappelling for the more adventurous guests.

The property is set in it's own 150-acre reserve and the coast is accessible via a 800m trail that drops the same distance vertically so can be a bit demanding in the heat of the day.

The property is owned by a Spanish couple with a background in Greenpeace and this is evident in the environmentally-sound ethos that exists throughout El Remanso.
