Costa Rica Vacation Travel Information In recent years Costa Rica has become a top vacation spot destination in Central America, probably due in part to their national parks and wildlife refuges. Every year hundreds of thousands of visitors, mainly from the United States and Canada, come to walk trails through the million-year-old rainforests ,the whitewater rapids, to surf on the Pacific beaches and climb the volcanoes.
But it is the natural beauty of Costa Rica that impresses the most.
Costa Rica has its fair share of holidays and festivals, when all banks, post offices, museums and government offices close. Definitely don't try to travel anywhere during Semana Santa , Holy (Easter) Week: the whole country shuts down from Holy Thursday until after Easter Monday, and buses don't run. Likewise, the week from Christmas to New Year invariably causes traffic nightmares, overcrowded beaches and a suspension of services. Check our information below before you make your Costa Rica vacation travel plans, so you know the dates to avoid.

There is very little traffic, so riding a bike to get around is an excellent idea. Buses are also cheap but beware renting a car, as the rental agencies have been known to charge you for damages they claim you inflicted. Use a travel agent to rent a car.
