There are tropical rainforests and jungles. There are cloud forests and seven active volcanoes. There are rich fertile valleys and miles of magnificent beaches that border two great bodies of water, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

This is a country that abounds with plenty. It has protected its lands so that generations from now, people will still be able to enjoy its natural beauty. 27% of the total land of Costa Rica is now protected as national parks, forest preserves, or indigenous reservations.
