COSTA RICA: The guide to avoid mistakes

COSTA RICA: 5% of world's biodiversity

Costa Rica it's relatively a small country located in Central America, but even having a small size it is home to over 5% of the world's biodiversity! 

And it is true, if you travel to Costa Rica, you'll see lot of new animals you've never seen before (unless you already have travelled to similar places) like sloths, tapirs, macaws, lot of colourful and unique birds, sea turtles and more. So this can be an interesting country if you love nature and want to see something new and wild animals, not in captivity.

Although Costa Rica was a beautiful place to see, my honest opinion is that it's overrated and super expensive. Along the guide, you'll read my honest opinion about each of the locations I visited in Costa Rica, and the best recommendations to enjoy to the fullest of each of those places. 

Of course, this is only my personal opinion. The experience might vary depending on each person's previous travels, experiences and interests. But I had very high expectations in terms of landscapes, beaches... that were not met. It's true that I missed visiting certain places which I believe are of the most beautiful ones in the country, which I will also share with you in this guide in case you can make it there. 

The guide is divided by regions and subdivided by specific locations. For each location I mention, I'll be sharing how to get there, and my honest opinion about the place (❗EVA'S TIP)

❗ Important, if you visit Costa Rica, please respect its nature and wildlife, as well as locals, who are lovely and really hospitable. Try not to participate in activities where you see animal abuse, and make sure you get to feel the Costa Rican good vibe and PURA VIDA!
