Costa Rica is a small country about the size of West Virginia in Central America but its robust tourist business boasts more than one million visitors per year. Unlike many of its neighbors, Costa Rica (called the "Switzerland" of Central America) is not bothered by civil unrest and boasts one of the oldest democracies in the Western Hemisphere.
Almost 12 percent of the country has been set aside for national park land that hosts more than 13,000 varieties of plants, animals and insects including more species of butterflies than any other country on earth.
Costa Rica is an angler's paradise. Whether it be deep sea fishing for marlin or patrolling the inland rivers for tarpon, Costa Rica has the adventure anglers seek. Species include snook, tarpon, wahoo and roosterfish, but the country is best known for its world-class sailfish and marlin fishing.
Whatever your taste, Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful eco-tourism spots on the planet and gives adventurous anglers a chance to test their skill against some of the most tenacious fish found anywhere.
