Going to the north of the country, we can visit exhibitions of the ‘Proyecto Asis’ located on the outskirts of the town of La Fortuna. The culture of the Costa Rican people is committed to the care and protection of wildlife, and they have a policy of no illegal hunting.
Forests and volcanoes
We could not leave out reviewing its tropical jungles and forests as another great heritage of the country, showing exuberant landscapes suitable for enjoying hiking.
One of the jewels found in the province of Guanacaste is the Parque Nacional de Santa Rosa, a place protected by its category of being one of the dry forests in the world. Those who hike in the area will see majestic oaks that show their appreciation by providing freshness and comfort to hikers. And along that same route are the nesting beaches for sea turtles: Naranjo and Nancie.

Costa Rica is also a land of volcanoes. It crosses its central volcanic mountain range in all its extension. Noting that many of these volcanoes are active, and those that are not active will allow you to walk on volcanic rocks.

The Río Celeste waterfall also stands out in the ‘Parque Nacional Volcan Tenorio’ in Guanacaste. The turquoise-blue color of its waters is fascinating. Scientists attribute the coloration of these waters to a chemical reaction between volcano minerals and elements from the rainforest.
You can miss visiting the pools of the Cascadas Nauyaca, located in the South Pacific of Costa Rica. These pools are the product of some majestic waterfalls hidden in the jungle’s depths. Getting to these pools can be done by hiking, horseback, or in a 4×4 transport. As you get closer, you can enjoy watching the different species of birds and monkeys.
