Explore Untouched Landscapes

If Nature is a destination with a capital N, then Costa Rica is the obvious choice, as this small Central American country is brimming with natural treasures and a biodiversity that is unique in the world and totally preserved.

A trip to Costa Rica means discovering its lush jungle, waterfalls, thermal waters, volcanoes, cloud forests and heavenly beaches.

Costa Rica has long been a benchmark for ecotourism and environmental protection. 27 national parks, 58 wildlife refuges, 32 protected areas, 11 forest reserves and 8 biological reserves give you an idea of the efforts and wonders that inhabit its hectares of land. A quarter of the territory is protected, helping to preserve numerous species.

During your Costa Rica tour, you’ll always find a park, a reserve, but also animals that live everywhere in the country without any limits, because here, parks are not enclosed and it’s not uncommon to find a sloth, a troop of monkeys, coatis or multicolored birds during a walk.

We welcome you to Costa Rica, so dear to our hearts, which has adopted us, and we invite you to let us guide you on our Nature and Discovery tours.

Tours that will take you to the must-see sites, but also to more secret and hidden places, far from the tourist circuits. From the Caribbean to the Pacific, from the North to the South, we’ll give you the benefit of our expertise in the field, acquired day by day since 2008. A Franco-Costa Rican team for smooth communication before, during and after your trip to Costa Rica.
