SAN JOSE

Welcome to Costa Rica (Rich Coast), a place teeming with an endless variety of life. From the inspiring rainforests to majestic volcanoes to fine sandy beaches and lovely resorts, Costa Rica is a tropical paradise. Upon arrival you will understand why this has become the world’s most popular eco-destination. This Central American nation still protects 25% of its land. It is marketed as "pura vida,” meaning pure life.

We stayed at the Hilton Doubletree Hotel in San Jose. Really lovely pool area and nice walkways covered in plants. It was nice to relax for a day before setting off on a fantastic tour.
