Costa Rica is emerging as a global leader in ecotourism, increasingly placing emphasis on conservation in alignment with its commitment to renewable energy and sustainable practices. From the remote Osa Peninsula where jaguar and tapirs may be tracked in Corcovado National Park, to white-water rafting along the Pacuare River and trekking through Monteverde’s cloud forests, where suspension bridges offer spectacular views and encounters with rare birdlife, Costa Rica offers a combination of rich biodiversity, breathtaking landscapes and exemplary environmental stewardship. Join indigenous communities in the Talamanca Mountains to learn about their traditions and medicinal practices and watch the sun rise as you monitor the turtle arriaba during early morning beach walks.
