Ecotourism is one of the most satisfying travel experiences. The Costa Rican people consider ecotourism as a fair trade: they share their beloved country with you, and you help them sustain their environment. 

And the country has a lot to share. There are 27 nature parks, 8 biological reserves, 32 protected zones, 11 forest reserves, 58 wildlife refuges, 15 wetlands in Costa Rica, which are home to 850 bird species, 237 mammal species, 1,260 tree species, 1,200 orchid species, and 361 reptile and amphibian species*. It also has pre-Columbian history, cultural heritage, a welcoming people – and really good food.
