As we are becoming more and more in tune to our environment, Costa Rica’s tourism rate is on the rise. As long as I can remember it’s been know that Costa Rica has the best natural park systems in all of Central America. Now it’s your turn to come and enjoy birds, volcanoes and amazing mammals in their own natural environment for your next vacation.
There are three popular volcanoes in Costa Rica that are visited most by tourists. Poas and Irazu are both active and have roads leading up to the lookout spots that allow a front row view into the mouth of these active craters. Irazu stands an incredibly 3432 meters high and is known as the highest volcano in Costa Rica.
Arenal is still the most active volcano in the world. It sat dormant for hundreds of years the erupted in July 1968. To this day, it still bellows ash columns, sending red glowing lava over its edges.
The National Park in Corcovado is known as the wildest rainforest in Central America. Home to over 500 species of trees it attracts many tourists for it’s lush green jungle and abundance of wildlife. Many tourists find it hard to leave after just one day and end up opting to camp and hit the trails for another day.
A great birding spot is Cano Negro, one of the least known locations. Not only is it home to some of the most amazing birds, it has been reported to be home to rare large mammals as well. Jaguars, Tapirs and Pumas have been reportedly seen and this can be attributed to the remoteness and lack of population in the area.
Costa Rica is home to six of the eight species of marine turtles that are reported worldwide. Of the six who make Costa Rica their home, four of those species do their nesting in Tortuguero. The Green sea turtle calls Tortuguero it’s breeding home, which brings many researchers and tourists to this magical place.
The national park in Tortuguero is struggling as of late with locals wanting to put a road right through the park. Tortuguero National Park is home to most of the wildlife you find in Costa Rica such as monkeys, birds, sloths and reptiles. You will find about half of the reptiles and bird population in Tortuguero, which could be at risk if the road gets through.
Let’s not forget the amazing water activities available in Costa Rica. White water rafting, snorkeling, fishing and surfing are some of the tops on the list. Manuel Antonio is touted as the most beautiful beach; windsurfing at Lake Arenal is ranked #3 best location in the world or Tarpon fishing catch and release in Barra del Colorado.
For the ultimate in canopy tours, Monteverde is the most desirable place for this activity. Its lush green vegetation and beautiful landscapes brings travelers to Costa Rica for it’s natural beauty. Suspension bridges are a way to explore the treetops, perched a hundred feet off the ground, but if it’s an adrenaline rush you seek, hit the zip line for the time of your life; you’ll be glad you did!
