COSTA RICA

Costa Rica’s strikingly diverse terrain — lush forests, wildlife reserves, and tropical beaches offers something for every traveler

OUR HOLIDAYS IN COSTA RICA

Costa Rica is unique in having more of its territory protected in national parks, biological reserves, and wildlife refuges than any other nation on earth. A dozen distinct eco-systems, all within less than a day’s drive of each other, contain tremendous tropical biodiversity. Animal-lovers will be spoilt for choice with everything from sloths to caiman and capuchins to dolphins calling the conservationist’s dream their home. Costa Rica is top of the list and a priority destination for birdwatchers, there are more than a dozen volcanoes and it boasts white sandy beaches along its stunning Pacific and Caribbean coastlines.

OUR UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION

Well over 99 per cent of the coastal land of Costa Rica is protected by maritime zones, which prohibits construction within 200 meters of the high tide mark. You will not find beachside hotels and boardwalks here. There is lots of unique accommodation we can offer our clients to stay in, and after we discover your likes and dislikes, we’ll help you find the perfect places to escape to.

WHEN TO GO

Costa Rica enjoys the advantage of the perfect tropical climate. The average temperature is 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 C) in the highlands and temperatures vary from the high 70 ´s to the low 90 ´s in the lowlands. Conditions are pleasantly moderate all year long and are often compared to a never-ending spring. There is a rainy season from May to November, and the dry season lasts from December through April.

MEET THE EXPERTS

CAROLINA CRUZ

My name is Carolina. I feel very privileged that I was born in this paradise called Costa Rica! I grew up in the green hills of the Central Valley where coffee is grown and harvested, also by my family. This small piece of earth called Costa Rica, the ‘rich coast’, is breathtaking at first glance and has so much to offer. Choosing a favorite place in Costa Rica is difficult for me, as this little paradise from north to south as well as from east to west is incredibly diverse and fascinating due to its many beautiful beaches, mountains, volcanoes and rainforests and much more. Besides nature, the climate, the culinary delights and the local people make Costa Rica one of the most varied, adventurous and special spots on this planet. With more than 15 years experience as a travel advisor, I have had the opportunity to personally enjoy and visit most wonderful destinations and hotels of Costa Rica. I invite you to come and discover my country! Costa Rica is waiting for you!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Welch Family - Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
A massive thank you for all your help in arranging the trip. It was a once in a lifetime experience and none of us will ever forget it.
I (and I speak for the rest of the group as well) couldn’t speak more highly of the service we received from Footloose, Shah Tours, Chanya Lodge staff and in particular the guides (Matei, Vocus and Edi, apologies for the spelling). We couldn’t have asked for better service from any of you and it’s fair to say, it made our trip.
Not sure if you know but our luggage (3 out of 4 bags) weren’t in Tanzania when we arrived but the Manager (and forgive me I forget her name) at Chanya Lodge was very helpful, contacted the airport and managed to get the luggage to arrive (in a taxi) literally 10 minutes before we set off for the trek on Monday morning. To say we were overjoyed is an understatement.
Lomax - Vietnam & Cambodia
Footloose has been fantastic in working with us to get the holiday of a lifetime and they more than delivered. We gave them a very broad brief…Vietnam, Cambodia, unforgettable, something for everyone and they worked with us and the ground agent to make sure that we got what we wanted (even though we didn’t really know ourselves) and that support, guidance and patience was first class. We have memories that will last a lifetime as our family grows up and they go their separate ways to start their lives – we hope our expedition will inspire them to travel and learn about different countries with their families in the future. To all at Footloose thank you so much for making this happen. We really couldn’t have done it without you!
McCarthy Family - Tanzania
Our holiday in Tanzania was absolutely brilliant, and we will share so many special family memories from it. The highlight was staying at the beautiful Zanzibari Boutique Hotel, where the staff were absolutely fantastic and the views just stunning. At Simply Sadaani (and Bab’s) Camp we enjoyed the same hospitality and generous welcome from all the staff. It was an unforgettable experience.
Jowett Family - Tanzania
We had spent 2 nights at the Bush Rover Suites in Selous rather than Serengeti and had the most amazing experience. We were right next to a lake full of crocs but felt completely secure. The team looked after our every need, food was great and we, of course, enjoyed every game drive and walking safari too. The set up allows you to get away from everyone else whilst seeing lots of wildlife.
