Stay on the beach at a Costa Rica resort.
Costa Rica in Central America is a small country that attracts 1.5 million vacationers every year. The "Lonely Planet" says Costa Rica's "beauty is staggering," and its varied landscape means you can surf on a Pacific beach in the morning, climb a volcano in the afternoon, and finish your vacation with a trip to a nature-filled cloud forest. Costa Rica has many luxurious resorts to choose from in rustic surroundings, where you can be close to nature.
