Destination

‘When Columbus landed a Limon on the Caribbean coast on his fourth and final voyage to the Americas, he could only guess at what beauty the interior possessed. With long sandy beaches, towering volcanoes and unspoiled tropical rainforest, Costa Rica is an adventurer's paradise - the habitat of the sloth, jaguar, tree frog and many other creatures, including some 800 species of bird.'
