As travelers look to extend what is left of the fleeting 2020 Summer season, many are choosing Costa Rica, located in Central America, as their getaway destination of choice due to the attractive climate conditions and a wide variety of activities and attractions available for visitors to enjoy. There are unlimited options for fun and adventure in Costa Rica with a mountain range between the Caribbean coast in the East and the Pacific coast in the West.
