Perfect for

Budding David Attenboroughs looking for a fast-track education in evolution (and a cocktail on a Costa Rican beach).

When to go

Galapagos is year-round, but different seasons offer different wildlife experiences. Costa Rica can be wet June to October but think tropical showers rather than British drizzle.

Consider

Costa Rica also teems with wildlife. If Galapagos isn’t enough, include to one of our favourite Costa Rican jungle lodges for more superlative wildlife viewing.
