Discover the country's diverse parks and reserves, which highlight Costa Rica’s countless natural wonders. Trek through verdant rainforest, tropical dry forest, coastline, cloud forest, and mountains – sometimes experiencing several ecosystems along a single park trail. Nature lovers and birding aficionados should consider hiring a naturalist guide to improve their chances of spotting camouflaged flora and fauna.
