A premiere eco-tourism destination, Costa Rica is a treasure trove for wildlife adventure. Its numerous national parks are nature's live theater, inhabited by rare and magnificent species, while its wonderful hiking trails meander through the country's natural wonders.

Hiking in Costa Rica

Beautiful trails abound in the humid rain and cloud forests, on the clay paths skirting the numerous volcanoes and through the tracks of wildlife refuges and biological reserves. Nature hikes range from well-marked easy paths to challenging trails that traverse through a variety of ecosystems in the country's rich forests, volcanoes and coasts.

The numerous trails around Arenal Volcano will awaken your spirit of adventure while the easily accessible hiking paths in Cahuita National Park follow the coastline. Corcovado National Park is an excellent venue for enthusiastic hikers and offers outstanding wildlife viewing.

Hiking in Costa Rica is the way to experience what nature and the pristine diverse environs have to offer. The scenery is truly splendid and wildlife viewing and adventures are best realized on foot.

Wildlife Adventures

The rainbow colors of scarlet macaws, toucans and flashes of blue and green hummingbirds envelop the forests with vibrant sights and sounds. Monkeys galore, including white capuchins, howlers and others are easily spotted cavorting through the dense forest branches, with iguanas and coatimundis hot on their heels. Shaggy fur sloths, camouflaged by green-tinted algae, barely move to make themselves indistinguishable from their surroundings. Red-eyed tree frogs, electric-blue morphos, the neon spectacle of the butterfly world, make for an awe-gaping show.

Throughout Costa Rica, wildlife refuge centers, natural wildlife museums and nature reserves abound. Monte Verde Cloud forest alone boasts a reptile museum, a butterfly house and several other natural museums. Tortuguero National park is home and refuge to the world's most diverse range of turtles, including Hawksbill, Green Sea, Loggerhead and Leatherback turtles, which nest along its pristine beaches throughout much of the year. A sloth sanctuary rescues and rehabilitates injured sloths, and the Barra Del Colorado Wildlife Refuge offers a protected wildlife environment to a wide range of animals.
