New York to Costa Rica Travel Guide

If you need a change of scenery from the busy streets and cool climate of New York City, book a flight to beautiful Costa Rica for an unforgettable tropical getaway. While the Central American country may be a little further than some of the more tourist-heavy warm-weather destinations, the unspoiled beaches and lush rainforests are well worth the trip. Find your cheap flight from New York City to Costa Rica, and start planning your vacation today.

NYC offers some of the best metropolitan entertainment on the planet, but none can deny that the unspoiled tropical forests of Costa Rica are just as impressive. Temperatures hover in the 70's and 80's F year-round, perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. Unlike the concrete jungle of New York City, the blend of mountains, rainforests and sandy coastlines offers a tranquil getaway. On the other hand, if you're looking for adventure, ruin exploration tours, hang-gliding and zip lines abound, and the vibrant cities such as San Jose offer restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Be sure to pack lightweight, breathable clothing, some bug spray and walking shoes for exploring the countryside.

Costa Rica may seem worlds away, but a short flight over is closer than you think. Try out our smart search engine to find the perfect flight for your Costa Rica vacation.
