With twenty-five National Parks, fifty-eight Wildlife Refuges, lowland rainforests, highland rainforests, rivers, canals, and beaches and reefs galore, Costa Rica offers nature tours for any corner of the country. Birds, turtles, whales, dolphins, crocs, butterflies, sloths, monkeys, snakes, reptiles, giant trees and tiny ferns fill this green gem of a country that's brimming with life.

Some visitors choose a multi-day all-inclusive nature adventure. Spend the morning in the highlands at the world's largest volcano crater, the afternoon at waterfall gardens, then then evening at a cloud forest jungle lodge. Over an entire week you can raft a Class III river, zip through the jungle canopy, visit bats in their caves at night, swim with dolphins, tour lowland canals, stand next to Central America's largest tree, dive in protected coral reefs, bathe in natural hot springs, ride horseback through the jungle, and watch a live volcano spew glowing lava at night. Tour coffee plantations, indigenous reserves, and local craft factories. See some of the world's most deadly snakes, help collect and protect endangered turtle eggs, or rapell down the face of a warm waterfall.

Costa Rica offers the vacation of a lifetime, where you can enjoy the spectacular wonders of nature while knowing the time and money you spend goes towards the preservation and conservation of natural resources and the communities that take pride in preserving them.
