The Luxury of Adventure:
2024 Land Rover Defender in Costa Rica

For some, a vehicle is simply a way to get from point A to point B. For others, it’s a gateway to freedom, exploration, and a lifestyle defined by both adventure and elegance. The Land Rover Defender has always embodied that spirit — uncompromising in capability, yet undeniably refined.

Tom and Janet understood this well. In Canada, their Defender had carried them across the Atlantic provinces on a 24-day road trip, through post-hurricane conditions where roads washed out and hotels closed. What could have been a trip defined by obstacles became a journey of discovery. Their Defender was more than transport — it was a companion. With its rooftop tent, clever storage, and thoughtful design, evenings turned into moments of calm: a glass of wine on the windswept shores of Nova Scotia, the sound of waves replacing the noise of uncertainty. Rugged, yet refined. Practical, yet indulgent.

Costa Rica demands a vehicle that can do it all

So, when Tom and Janet purchased their home in Costa Rica, there was no hesitation about which vehicle would be part of their new life. They chose the Defender again. For them, it wasn’t about starting over — it was about continuity. The same vehicle that once opened the backroads of Canada would now carry them along the mountain trails of Atenas, across river crossings on the Pacific slope, and down the palm-lined roads toward hidden beaches. The Defender became a bridge between chapters of their lives, a seamless thread of freedom and adventure connecting one home to the next.

Costa Rica, after all, demands a vehicle that can do it all. From cosmopolitan streets in San José to winding mountain roads and remote jungle tracks, the landscapes are as diverse as they are breathtaking. Here, the Defender feels perfectly at home. Its Terrain Response 2 system, adaptive suspension, and intelligent four-wheel drive inspire confidence in the most challenging conditions, while its leather interiors, sustainable materials, and intuitive technology ensure every journey is wrapped in comfort.
