Costa Rica's National Park Holidays

Costa Rica's protected areas encompass approximately 30% of the country's total land area and within this lie over 30 national parks, 51 wildlife refuges and 21 reserves.

One of the most biodiverse countries in the world, these parks and protected areas showcase an amazing range of flora and fauna with environments ranging from low lying wetlands to lofty cloud forests, and smoking volcanoes to rugged beaches. Information on some of the more well-known parks like Arenal Volcano National Park, Manuel Antonio National Park, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Tortuguero can be found separately.

Below you will find a little information on some parks you may not be as familiar with, these are often overlooked by many visitors to Costa Rica and therefore much quieter, allowing for a more serene interaction with nature.
