Costa Rica
, Central AmericaEXPERIENCE THE PINNACLE DIFFERENCE IN COSTA RICA
Mention Costa Rica and people think paradise. The country's Disney-like cast of creatures — ranging from howler monkeys to toucans — are prolific and relatively easy to spot. The waves are prime, the beauty is staggering and the sluggish pace seductive. Costa Rica, despite being such a tiny nation, draws well over a million visitors every year - and you can see why. The incredibly varied topography means you can cruise a cloud forest one day, climb a volcano the next, and finish passed out on a hot sandy beach.
COSTA RICA - WILDLIFE & BIODIVERSITY
Costa Rica has some of the most diverse wildlife and natural landscapes in the world. In spite of its small size, Costa Rica features greater biodiversity than Europe or North America! This is due to a number of factors, among them:
• The country's location between North and South America, enabling plants and animals from both continents and the Antilles (Caribbean islands) to establish themselves there.
• Costa Rica's tropical climate and geographical makeup, that includes a range of habitats, from lowland rainforest to cloud forests, to tropical lakes and rivers.
• The nation's ecological policy, which has protected a significant percentage of its natural territory.
Although Costa Rica only covers 0.03% of the surface of the globe, it proudly shelters 6% of the existing biodiversity in the entire world. 25.58% of the country is composed of conservation and natural protected territory, making Costa Rica one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet!
