COSTA RICA
Costa Rica Holidays
Although only covering a mere 19,560 square miles, Costa Rica features greater biodiversity than Europe or North America - 5 percent of the planet's flora and fauna. Mistakingly overlooked by many wildlife enthusiasts as too commercial, this is what makes a trip to the incredibly remote areas of the country - of which there are many - so special.
Atlantic green turtles nest on pristine beaches, scarlet macaws flash past in technicolour against the green forest, where sloths and monkeys forage and wild orchids flow on the slopes of active volcanoes. The abundance and diversity of wildlife is partly due to the country’s geographical position on a land bridge between North America and South America combined with it's visionary environmental protection policies. With quarter of the country given over to protected areas and national parks, supported by a mixture of wildlife conservation agencies and local community initiatives, this Rich Coast is an eco-tourist's paradise.
