Women's Travel to Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a wonderful destination for women traveling solo or in groups. Costa Rica contains 5% of the world's biodiversity in a country smaller than West Virginia — cloud forests, active volcanoes, Pacific and Caribbean coastlines, and wildlife sanctuaries that deliver jaguars, sloths, sea turtles, and more species of birds than all of North America combined.
Inspired by the model of Audrey Travel and Friendly Planet, The Wedding Unicorn plans women-first travel experiences to Costa Rica — safety-vetted, joyful, and built around the female traveler's experience rather than generic itineraries.
Costa Rica's Pura Vida is a philosophy — pure life, no stress, surrounded by howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, and the best biodiversity on earth per square kilometer.
We source women-owned or women-operated properties where available, vet all transportation and guide services for safety, build in community experiences with local women where appropriate, and design itineraries that feel both adventurous and secure. Costa Rica's cloud forests, Manuel Antonio, Arenal Volcano, zip-lining, sea turtles, Pura Vida is best experienced when you can be fully present — and our planning ensures you can be.
