Senior Travel to Costa Rica

When envisioning Costa Rica as a vacation destination, the popular image often centers around action-packed fun—think surfers, whitewater rafters, hikers, and mountain bikers—or young families exploring national parks with kids thrilled by the sights. An often unexplored fact is that Costa Rica has been evolving into a great destination for older travelers.

These are often referred to in marketing as “silver tourists.” We don't particularly like that term, but we believe senior travelers deserve their share of the fun in a fantastic Costa Rica vacation tailored for them, their needs, and the things they want to do. In this guide, we define both senior travel and who exactly counts as a “senior” in the country, and we offer tips and advice to find the best accommodations and activities to enjoy a hassle-free trip.
