The Best Places to Travel in December
It seems bizarre to already be talking about travel plans for the end of the year, but as we whizz through 2023 its actually not that far away at all. We’ve got all sorts of trips for you to book throughout the year, but for December we’ve gone for a few options you might not have thought about before but we think these are a great way to celebrate another spin around the sun.

The Real Costa Rica
Explore a Costa Rican cloud forest, surf the best Pacific waves and sleep near the Arenal volcano. This eight-day adventure spans western Costa Rica from the capital, San José, to Tamarindo. It’s perfect for wildlife watchers and adrenaline seekers – you’ll spot sloths, hummingbirds and frogs, and white-water rafting through the jungle. There’s also a visit to a volcanic coffee plantation, a cooking lesson, and plenty of wind-down time to spend just splashing about in a swimming pool (or beneath a waterfall).
