By far one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been to, Costa Rica in Latin America located in Central America between North America and South America has a lot to offer. There are literally many different climates all in one country to experience; beaches, the city, forests, tropical environments, wildlife, animal sanctuaries, and more. Driving distance is about 1 to 3 hours to different regions. I would say many places can be visited in just one week. The guidebooks are right on this one! This is a must see country.
Photos are of me at a beach where I joined a group tour to ride horseback up a nearby mountain with aerial views of the beach and to go see old ruins mentioned in a guidebook of a place that used to host many functions and parties many years ago while in use. It has many terraces that have been bleached white by the sun. I did so much in Costa Rica that all of the photos cannot be shown in one post!
