Holding nearly 4% of the world’s biodiversity in
a country that occupies only 0.3% of the
planet, Costa Rica is an awe-inspiring
altar to nature. In particular, the Central Pacific Coast
of Costa Rica
is known for its many aquatic ecosystems and its beautiful white and black
sand beaches. Here you will find a breathtaking setting for sport fishing,
snorkeling, surfing,
sun bathing, and more.
Costa Rica has been promoting ecological tourism for the
last decade. Visitors are able to
interact with nature in the national
parks and the biological reserves that protect nearly 25%
of the national
territory. Yet, perhaps an even more compelling asset of Costa Rica is
her
people.
Kind and hospitable, Ticos, as Costa Ricans are commonly
known, are as gracious as their
country is beautiful. Whether it’s helping
you with road directions, or telling you of a wonderful
restaurant down
the road frequented by the locals, Ticos simply go out of their way to
make
you feel welcome.
