It’s all about nature in Costa Rica. Approximately one quarter of the land is under nature conservation. We are talking about tropical rainforests, volcanoes, and cloud forests. By means of trials, adventurous cruises, or by a walk on hanging bridges through the treetops this incredible diverse nature can be admired, often with amazing ease. Many animals are easy to approach and observe. Imagine yourself sitting in a little boat just a few metres away from a spectacled caiman, with brutal apes in the trees above your head, with big Iquana’s on a paradise beach, and with colorful parrots flying against a wonderful blue sky. Edwin will take you on a colorful journey through several National Parks of Costa Rica.

Large penguin colonies, several species of seals such as the Weddel seal ( Leptonychotes wedell) and the Leopard seal ( Hydrurga leptonyx).
