Costa Rica is a beautiful honeymoon destination especially for the eco-conscious couple hoping their romantic escape can blend seamlessly with the natural environment of their warm, exotic destination.

This small Central American country is rich with places to make that wish a reality. Costa Rica is filled with national parks, which preserve the natural landscape as well as the delightful wildlife. Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the most popular, but throughout the country you'll find waterfalls, cliffs, rivers, hot springs, rain forest, and beaches ready for you to explore. Many national parks – even some of the carefully built accommodations – provide perfect viewing for the country's famous sloth and squirrel monkeys. Plus, you can find excellent bird watching or a unique glimpse at hatching turtles.

Flanked both by the Caribbean and the Pacific, known for its rainfall and filled with the steep hills and rivers to contain them, Costa Rica offers all kinds of water sports, beauty and recreation. Beaches and waterfalls can be breathtaking – a word that can also describe the world-famous surfing beaches here and the high-thrill white water rafting from beginner to advanced.

Even Costa Rica's hotels strive to embrace the beautiful terrain. You'll find no end to the small but gorgeous hotels that literally seem to have grown from the Costa Rican landscape, such as the upscale Hotel Le Bergarac in San Jose with its beautiful antiques and patio breakfast. There are larger resort-style hotels as well, like the eco-resort Lapa Rios in Cabo Matapalo.

With any of its varied accommodations and exciting adventures, you'll find yourself embraced in the warm culture and hospitality of Costa Rica. It is a beautiful escape, rich with exotic, natural romance.
