Costa Rica is more than
a vacation destination; it is an interactive sensory experience. The country is
bestowed with an intense array of biodiversity and environmental attractions -
majestic volcanoes, misty cloud forests, stunning river valleys, and hundreds
of beaches along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Costa Rica carries a
fascinating ecological story, woven into the history of a peaceful and
family-oriented culture.
Rainforests
Tropical
Rainforests are often referred to as “jewels of the earth.” They are home to
two-thirds of all living animal and plant species on the planet. In Costa Rica,
numerous destinations have rainforest walking trails. With the help of a local
naturalist guide, you can discover the magnificent world within.
Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna –
Northern Lowlands Region of Costa Rica
One
of Costa Rica's most notable natural features is the Arenal Volcano. This
impressive volcano resides within the 29,960-acre Arenal Volcano National Park.
Although the volcano entered into a resting phase in 2010 – meaning that its
eruptions have paused – it is still a stunning sight. Rising above the
rainforest that surrounds its base, Arenal frames the skyline with near perfect
symmetry. The immediate area hosts a wealth of activities – including
whitewater rafting, waterfall rappelling, hiking and canopy tours – as well as
the friendly town of La Fortuna.
San Gerardo de Dota – South Central Region of Costa Rica
A
haven for birdwatchers and hikers awaits visitors around the town of San
Gerardo de Dota, huddled up against the roaring Talamanca Mountain Range.
Nestled in the Savegre River Valley, tourism hasn't quite hit this quaint
settlement which provides quick access to the recently named Los Quetzales
National Park.
