Overlooked by experienced travelers until recently, Costa
Rica is a jewel on our doorstep. Costa Rica is a democracy,
has no standing army, and is arguably the most environmentally
friendly country in Latin America. Come to Costa Rica for
the natural beauty….stay for the adventure! This small
nation just north of Panama has for decades been a leader
in stability, ecological preservation and a truly extraordinary
national park system. The people of this small land have worked
for many years on a system of parks that include cloud forests,
tree canopy experiences and impenetrable jungles and English
is widely spoken. They will be happy to show you where to
kayak the white water, trek the tropical trails or hike to
the top of the nearest volcano. Up their volcanoes, by the
way, is where these otherwise sane and sensible people run
their marathons. Over the years, Costa Rica has quietly become
the world leader in sensitive ecotourism and their methods
are now copied world-wide. There
is diving for everyone. The Guanacaste and Osa peninsula
regions are teeming with a huge variety of undersea life.
For the more adventurous diver, a liveaboard to the Coco
and Malpelo islands lie 260 miles west in the Pacific and
there you will find hammerheads, manta rays and sometimes
the elusive whale shark. We have complete details on the
best liveaboard diving experiences available for every schedule
and budget. Your LiveWell Ventures professional can put
you on the full-service liveaboard dive boat that perfectly
meets your scuba experience level.
