National Parks & Wildlife Reserves of Costa Rica

As a representation of the geographical and biological diversity of the country, Costa Rica’s national parks are also very diverse. They encompass a multitude of ecosystems and their respective species, such as cloud forests, rainforests, tropical dry forests, mangroves, and even coral reefs.

Depending on the park that you visit, you could peer into a volcano crater, dip your toes in the ocean, look for sloths or monkeys, marvel at giant tree ferns, walk around archeological ruins, or see the site of the most famous battle in Costa Rica’s history. There is really no other way to say it: these parks have it all, and in great abundance.
