Rainforests

Approximately one quarter of Costa Rica consists of national parks and rainforests. Although relatively small from a global perspective, these rainforests are home to a staggering 5% of all of the biodiversity on the planet.

Wildlife

Whether it’s the monkeys who brazenly snatch food from visitors or the ubiquitous geckos, lizards, and iguanas, one of the best aspects of a Costa Rica vacation is the abundance of wildlife everywhere you go.

Eco-Tourism

Since forsaking the need to maintain a military in 1948, the government of Costa Rica has focused its resources on preserving and promoting the environment. Costa Rica is on its way to becoming the first carbon-neutral country in the world, and visitors can choose from a variety of eco-friendly lodges, hotels, and tours designed to be fully sustainable.
