\"Rainforests\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though Costa Rica is a small country wedged between two continents, it is considered as one of the richest bio-diverse country in the world. Tropical Rainforests, sometimes\u00a0referred as “Jewels of the earth”, harbor\u00a0two-thirds of all the living species of animals and plants on the world. By taking help\u00a0from a local naturalist guide, you can enjoy discovering the amazing world within the rainforest. Flanked by miles of beaches on the Pacific and the Caribbean, Costa Rica is commonly known for its world renowned beachfront and cascading coastline but the interior is alush tangle of rainforest, mist-veiled mountains, active volcanoes and habitat for some of the greatest biodiversity on earth.\u00a0Lush and green throughout the year, this country is a great place for the nature lovers.<\/p>\n
