For the more "feet-on-the-ground" tourist, there are many different types of beaches and National Parks in Costa Rica, which boasts about 10.000 species of plants, 850 species of birds, more than 200 species of mammals, 220 species of reptiles and about 160 species of amphibians. You can really enjoy the gifts Mother Nature has bestowed on this tropical country.
"Costarricenses" really care about preserving their past and wholeheartedly believe in preparing for their future: a little bit more than one quarter (26%) of our territory is protected by the National Parks and Reserve System. Even though we are a small country, we export oxygen to the world. Through international trade bans and specific laws that protect our native fauna y flora, we are considered air cleaners and safekeepers for many species of wildlife.
National Park (Sirena) Caño Island, Drake Bay, or off the coast by the Papagallo Bay, or perhaps you would prefer a trip to Islas del Coco, or, or, or….this country is flanked by two major bodies of water. Aside from being able to explore sites on your own, or to participate in a tour, there are several scientific study stations which can provide you with a bit more in-depth data to help you enjoy your private explorations even more. Is it important to you to plan your trip for when the sea turtles are laying their eggs? Or when the sperm whales are migrating? Do you want to do some sports fishing where you can observe one of the other wonders of nature??
There are almost 900 species of birds in Costa Rica. From the oak forest of Central America’s highest mountain range, the Talamanca Mountains, all the way to the cloud forests of Monteverde or Braulio Carrillo National Park, and onward to the lowland rain forest of the Osa Peninsula, birders will discover a rich variety of habitats filled with wonderfully diverse groups of birds. Every birder, or any level of expertise and experience will find this a rewarding experience. There are guides, bird experts who live and specialize in this area, who are available for bookings. Just let us know. We can hunt and peck for you!
