What is worth seeing in Costa Rica?

Manuel Antonio National Park – The smallest and at the same time one of the most beautiful national parks in the country – located in the state of Quepos. Forbes magazine has named it one of the 12 most beautiful parks in the world. This national park is very diverse, from mangrove forests to fabulous beaches and bays where we can observe dolphins or whales, and inland, numerous raccoons, sloths and various species of monkeys.

Arenal volcano – until 2010 it was the most active volcano in Costa Rica. To the delight of visitors, until recently there were harmless mini-eruptions, and the volcano regularly poured out large amounts of lava, gas and ash. This mountain is an ideal place for trekking, the numerous lakes around are a great place for fishing fans, and the rushing rivers are ideal for rafting or kayaking.

Tortugero National Park – another eco-tourism spot in the country, where nature lovers will find solace. Tortugero is an extensive network of narrow channels winding through the virgin jungle and coastal wetlands. For travelers who value direct contact with nature, kayaking trips are ideal, from where numerous species of plants and animals can be seen as if in the palm of your hand. The main attraction of Tortugero are of course the turtles (tortuga in Spanish means turtle) that inhabit these areas.

Forests near Monteverde and Santa Elena – this is another great place in Costa Rica for ecotourism. It is definitely a place worth seeing for travelers who want to immerse themselves in nature and see unique plants and animals without straying too far from the beaten track. It is also a great place to watch birds, of which there are plenty here. However, birds are not the only inhabitant of Monteverde, we can also come across jaguars, pumas, various species of monkeys and a huge number of amphibians and reptiles.

La Paz Waterfalls – this private nature park stretching over 28 hectares is one of the country's must-see attractions and is home to many species of monkeys, butterflies and birds. The most important point of this place is, of course, the 37-meter high La Paz waterfall.
