Costa Rica is known worldwide for its wildlife, as it is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Costa Rica has a lot more to offer than just wildlife! The beaches are incredible, with both Pacific and Caribbean coasts, and the capital city of San Jose is pretty fun to explore, too. Most tourists fly into San Jose’s big, international airport and immediately head off to another part of the country, but spending a day or two exploring the capital is well worth it too.
