Travelling around the diverse landscapes of this Central American country is easier than ever. Costa Rica is a small place with "a bewildering variety of landscapes", says Will Pavia in the Times. And thanks to a new minibus network in the Central American country, travelling between these diverse regions is now both cheap and easy.
The cloud forest that grows over the country's "mountainous spine" is astonishing in its "natural abundance": at a café on the edge of the Monteverde reserve, seven or more species of hummingbird can regularly be seen squabbling over the syrup feeders. From there it's a "magical journey" through "luminous green foothills" to the barren volcanic landscape of Irazu.
And no less enchanting are the vast, pristine beaches of the Caribbean coast, a relaxing final destination for most visitors.

The country only narrowly fails to achieve the goal of what NEF calls "one-planet living": consuming its fair share of the Earth's natural resources....
