If nature, wildlife and adventure are symbolic of your ideal holiday then I can highly recommend a trip to Costa Rica after my visit in November 2010.

It was my first trip to Central America and I went with an open mind, wet weather gear, good walking boots, binoculars and a camera. They all came in very handy, especially as the unseasonal floods caused a national state of emergency whilst we were there. But this is travel after all so I did not let this affect my enjoyment during my stay there.
