Biodiversity

Costa Rica is the best getaway for any nature lover. The geographical position encourages biological diversity. This tiny stretch of land accounts for only 0.3% of the Earth's total surface but is home to 5% of its biodiversity. The vegetation is also quite diverse, ranging from the stately guanacaste, Costa Rica's national tree, to the most miniature orchid. Flowering trees and bushes add a welcome splash of color to the lush green vegetation that blankets much of the country.


The country has protected biodiversity through legislation and long-term activities focused on protecting natural resources. As a result, when visiting the country, you will also learn the value of wildlife conservation. Costa Rica's diverse habitats and ecosystems support 13,000 plant species, 2,000 butterfly species, 163 amphibian species, 220 reptile species, 1,600 fresh- and salt-water fish species, and at least 870 bird species. This is in addition to an incredible variety of mammals and invertebrates. Some of these creatures can only be seen at night, so plan a hike with a local guide to get the finest views.
