Costa Rica is a paradise for nature and animal lovers

Costa Rica means "The Rich Coast". And it is not without reason that the Central American country has been given just that name.

The country consists of almost 1.500 kilometers of coastline and it offers tropical rainforests from north to south, a mountain range of volcanoes, crater lakes, waterfalls, hot springs, rivers and beaches. A true paradise for nature lovers.

And perhaps the most important reason why you should travel to Costa Rica is just that - unique nature and an exciting wildlife.

Costa Rica consists of more than 25% national parks with almost half a million different plant and animal species, which together help to make Costa Rica one of the countries in the world with the greatest biodiversity.

The country has beautiful national parks that we can only dream of experiencing in Denmark. So be sure to visit one of them when you travel to Costa Rica.

In Tortuguero National Park, which is known for its sea turtles that lay their eggs in the sand every year, you can go on a boat safari. If you instead dream of seeing capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys and howler monkeys, you should go to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Although it is the smallest park in Costa Rica, the national park has the greatest biodiversity with both rainforest, mangroves and a very rich wildlife. If you want an adrenaline rush when you travel to Costa Rica, you can zipline your way through Monteverde National Park's characteristic fog.
