With over a quarter of the land dedicated to national parks and reserves designed to protect and preserve Costa Rica’s vast ecosystems, it’s hardly surprising that Costa Rica has an abundance of natural beauty. Renowned around the world for its conservation and sustainable tourism efforts, Costa Rica is home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity. In Costa Rica, there are 28 national parks, many of which are filled with volcanoes, rainforests, waterfalls and an impressive variety of wildlife. On a holiday to Costa Rica, you can spot monkeys and sloths in the treetops by a palm-fringed beach, watch turtles hatching on the Caribbean coast and relax in hot springs with an impressive volcano backdrop.
