best of costa rica
Costa Rica is one of the world's most beautiful and interesting tourist destinations.
But to get the most out of your Costa Rica experience, you will need to get off the "beaten track" and travel the highways, byways, and rocky roads of this mountainous country, the "Switzerland of Central America."
Costa Rica covers only 0.03 % of the surface of the planet but it has about 6 % of the world's biodiversity.
Visitors encounter oceans, beaches, rivers, mountains, and an abundance of flora and fauna.
More than one million tourists visit Costa Rica each year. What draws so many people to this lightly advertised destination? Natural beauty and diversity are the answers.
Should you rent a car? For budget travelers, the answer is NO, poorly marked roads, the second highest per-capita accident rate on the planet, and the ultimate adventure: getting stranded in wilderness light years from a telephone or repair service.
But don't despair! You have clicked your way to Costa Rica's best kept secret: an extensive, inexpensive bus system that will take you to beaches, national parks, cities, small villages, and other Central American countries at minimal cost.
Sit back, relax, and watch the passing panorama.
