Costa Rica is a small haven of tranquility bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Costa Rica is rich in flora and fauna, which gathers an astonishing 6% of the planet’s biodiversity. The country is small, but boasts an incredible array of landscapes and ecosystems. With active and dormant volcanoes, lush jungle, crystal clear rivers and waterfalls, clean air, spectacular seabeds and fauna, Costa Rica is a prime ecotourism destination.
National parks and reserves
25% of Costa Rica’s territory is protected by the status of national park or nature reserve. The country counts 27 national parks, 3 of them listed in the Unesco’s World Heritage list: Guanacaste National Park, Isla del Coco national park and Parque la Amistad (which is shared with Panama). The 58 refuges, 32 protected areas, 15 protected mangrove and swamp areas, 11 forest reserves and 8 biological reserves are also part of Costa Rica’s natural treasures.
