For those that have yet to visit the Earth's ever decreasing rain forest Costa Rica is the perfect introduction. It is easy and relatively inexpensive to reach from most place in Europe and North America. The country also has an established and affordable tourist structure. Furthermore besides offering an excellent opportunity to visit the rain forest, Costa Rica has superb beaches where you can relax for a few days. I met whole families coming down to Costa Rica for beach vacations and a little hiking in the rain forest on the side. Also Costa Rica has now even become a major destination for surfers because of the fantastic waves on the Pacific coast. I think with such a combination of fascinating things to see and to do that Costa Rica is an excellent destination that the whole family can enjoy.

 Interesting tips on the museums and nature walks. I don't mind a bit of mud occasionally, but what I'd really like to do is go on a skywalk up among the tops of the trees in the jungle.

 Hi Paul, Thanks for a great overview of Costa Rica. Karen and I are making our first trip there next March.

 Hello Paul. I really enjoyed your tips, especially on the national parks! The spiders made me worry a bit, but I won't let some ugly critters stop me from exploring a new country! Greetings from the desert (where we have scorpions, too) / Jess :-)
