Costa Rica National Parks & Reserves Travel Guide Info
Fortunately, for the past 30 years Costa Rica has been creating national parks and reserves to protect its natural splendor against the onslaught of logging and large-scale agro industry that has swept across the Central American Isthmus and into South America.
The Costa Rican conservation system is comprised of 75 parks, reserves, and refuges that protect a full 25% of the country's total territory.
The stars of Costa Rica's plethora of parks and reserves are Santa Rosa National Park, the nation's oldest, Monteverde Cloudforest Reserve, the most visited protected area in the country, Iraz Volcano National Park and Pos Volcano National Park, which are obviously famous for their towering volcanoes, and picture-perfect Manuel Antonio National Park on the coast.
Hiking, camping, birdwatching, and horseback riding are possible and highly recommended in all of these protected areas and most of the others. Whitewater rafting is also a favorite pastime of Costa Rican travelers because some of the best rapids in world course through this little Central American gem.
