{$slug}What is Costa Rica? Tropical and natural... Latin American, yet international... a fusion of sights, sounds and flavors... a luxurious vacation spot... all within the beauty of an unspoiled natural paradise with people living in the inspiration of democracy and peace. Located just a few hours away from major US airport hubs, and warmed by the gracious hospitality of its well-educated, community-oriented people (or "Ticos," as they are often called), Costa Rica offers the perfect vacation getaway.

Costa Rica is more than a destination. It is an array of unique experiences bound by the country's natural charm and nearly ideal climate, accessibility and biodiversity. Within its borders, you'll discover a remarkable variety of ecosystems - many of which are protected within the national park and private reserve systems that cover more than a quarter of the country. Costa Rica's rich biodiversity is unparalleled for a country of its relatively small size... and sets an example of environmental conservation for the world.

Costa Rica is a land of contrasts and extremes. Stretching from the rugged Pacific shoreline to the sparkling blue waters of the Caribbean coast, its diverse landscape offers something for everyone. Rugged mountains topped by rain and cloud forests. Sweeping plains and crops nourished by rich volcanic soils. In just a few hours, you can spend a morning in the capital city of San Jose, with its museums and shops... travel through small country towns and over mountains covered with coffee plantations... and relax on Costa Rica's spectacular white-sand beaches.

Costa Rica wraps around unforgettable and thrilling sights and activities. Therapuetic thermal springs fed by active volcanoes, lush and tranquil rainforests, and unspoiled wild rivers that wind their way onto the coastal plains await you. Enjoy the crystal waters dotted with coral reefs and great surfing spots on the Caribbean coast. Take a 4x4 Jeep excursion through the interior of the country to Guanacaste, with its spectacular sunsets and deserted tropical beaches. Or simply indulge in the luxury of world-class golf, pampering resort spas and sensational fishing.

Costa Rica fulfills all your vacation fantasies... and Azulera will exceed them.
