Costa Rica is one of the world’s most popular destinations for Eco-tourists because of its biodiversity. It possesses the greatest density of species in the world, and around 25% of its national territory is protected by a system of conservation areas and national parks. Both tropical plant and animal species abound.
Costa Rica borders Nicaragua at the north and Panamá to the south and is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea to the East, and the Pacific Ocean to the West. It is this privileged location that produces astounding biodiversity making it easy to explore different micro-climates without much travel time. Costa Rica has some of the most accessible wildlife experiences in all of Central America – especially for bird lovers. This means you will be up close and personal with birds, monkeys, reptiles, amphibians and more depending on location.
In addition to the flora and fauna, the country has some of the best beaches in the world. The Atlantic coast is just five hours away from the Pacific coast and both offer completely different views, coastal experiences and landscapes. The sun rises and sets at the same time all year long making it a fantastic destination during any season or time of year.
