Costa Rica
While representing only 0.03% of the earth’s surface, Costa Rica contains more than 5% of the planet’s biodiversity. This is primarily due to the presence of a wide range of habitat types in the county. From the Caribbean and Pacific coastlines to the mountainous interior, Costa Rica is home to tropical rainforest, dry tropical forest, cloud forest, volcanos, beaches, mangroves, and idyllic islands.
These stunning natural landmarks make up some of the most outstanding wildlife watching destinations in Costa Rica. Head to Corcovado National Park for a chance to see all four species of Costa Rica’s primates, Baird’s tapirs and even a puma, if you are lucky. Spot rainforest birds and poison dart frogs at Tirimbina Reserve and La Selva Biological Station. Watch whales in Drake Bay and hummingbirds in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve.
