The country has an array of environmental attractions – majestic volcanoes, misty cloud forests, stunning river valleys, and hundreds of beaches along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Luxurious hotels boast hot springs and massages; simple, family-owned cabins dot the landscape; and a peaceful, family-oriented culture weaves it all together.
