In the February 2024 edition of Howler Real Escapes, we delve into the captivating realm of Costa Rica’s eco-innovation and romance. This Central American gem is at the forefront of an eco-friendly revolution in hospitality, where hotels aren’t just about sustainability but actively contribute to the planet’s rejuvenation. These establishments are redefining the essence of sustainable tourism, allowing guests to luxuriate in harmony with nature.

Costa Rica also emerges as a sanctuary for romance, with its diverse landscapes offering an array of enchanting settings perfect for couples. From the mystical cloud forests to the serene beaches, each locale provides a unique canvas for love and connection.
