This week, focus on Costa Rica<\/a>. Going to Costa Rica for 5 or 6 nights on the ground, as some travel operators suggest, makes no sense! That’s a lot of international flight time and a significant time difference for a stay far too short in a country that deserves at least 10 days. Pura Vida!<\/p>\n Laurent Guillot<\/p>\n Follow the Costa Rica, Pura Vida! board by Etendues Sauvages on Pinterest.<\/a>
\nA country that can be visited year-round, though the ideal period, to my mind, runs from December to March, when it’s 2\u00b0C in Paris and 25\u00b0C… in the water of the Pacific!
\nA country the size of Switzerland, rich with exuberant nature \u2014 home to nearly 5% of the world’s biodiversity \u2014 ideal for a self-drive trip as a couple or a family, even with young children; amid active volcanoes, primary and cloud forests, and wild white-sand beaches on the Caribbean or Pacific coast.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s possible to design a very fine tailor-made trip to Costa Rica over about ten days on the ground, from approximately \u20ac2,000\/2,200 all-in per person.
\nBudget a total of around \u20ac2,800\/3,000 all-in if you wish to include a 4-day\/3-night immersion in the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park<\/a>, the wildest and best-preserved region of the country.<\/p>\n
