Consider Costa Rica for warm weather travel from Canada

With Costa Rica’s dry season in full swing, this is the perfect time for a last-minute adventure for Canadians to live a piece of the Pura Vida. Costa Rica is the perfect destination for Canadian travelers looking beyond American warm-weather destinations like Florida. 

Beyond the usual tropical escape, Costa Rica’s town of Las Catalinas isn’t just another beach destination. It’s a car-free, walkable town designed for human connection and sustainable living, offering a unique blend of adventure and tranquility. Imagine cobblestone streets, vibrant plazas, and stunning ocean views, all within a community that prioritizes environmental harmony.


Why Las Catalinas is Timely for Canadian Travelers:

  • Expanded Direct Flight Options: With increased direct flights from Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver to both Liberia (LIR) and San Jose (SJO), accessing Costa Rica has never been easier. This means less travel time and more vacation time for your readers.

Las Catalinas provides the perfect setting for wellness retreats, outdoor adventures, and simply reconnecting with nature.
