20 Countries That Still Welcome Tourists Without a Visa

2. Costa Rica: Pura Vida in Every Green Corner

Costa Rica isn't just about eco-tourism; it's a living laboratory of biodiversity. Beyond the well-trodden paths, venture to the Osa Peninsula, home to Corcovado National Park, where jaguars roam and macaws soar through dense rainforest. Surf remote breaks on the Nicoya Peninsula, explore the mystical cloud forests of Monteverde, or witness active volcanoes like Poás and Arenal up close. The country’s commitment to "Pura Vida" (pure life) permeates every interaction, offering travelers a vibrant, adrenaline-fueled, yet deeply connected experience with nature and friendly locals who embrace sustainable living.
