For nature lovers, Costa Rica is a paradise. More than a quarter of the country is protected land and home to countless plant and animal species.

Colourful markets offer fresh exotic fruit, vegetables, and handicrafts. A walk through the Mercado Central is the best way to discover Costa Rican lifestyle. Traditional dishes can also be enjoyed in the cafés and restaurants on the lively Plaza de la Cultura. Green oases such as the Simón Bolívar Park or La Sabana Park provide peace in the middle of the city. The nightlife is centred in the El Pueblo quarter, where Latin American rhythms from bars and clubs invite dancing until dawn.
