Costa Rica protects more than 25% of its total land area from development in some sort of park, refuge, reserve or other type of protected zone.

There are more than 161 national parks, biological reserves, wildlife refuges, wetlands and other parks and refuges in Costa Rica. So... No matter where you are in Costa Rica, there is always a green sanctuary nearby where hiking, bird and wildlife watching, snorkeling and diving, whale watching, or any number of other nature and adventure activities can be enjoyed.
