Costa Rica may well be one of the first countries to come to people’s minds when discussing ecotourism and nature travel. With 25% of its territory protected through parks or nature reserves, the options to immerse yourself in its extensive nature are endless. Here are some of the top nature experiences to look forward to in Costa Rica.

Check out a Volcano

Volcanoes are one of the most typical images of Costa Rica. With 116 volcanoes, it is impossible not to see a crater appear here or there throughout your stay. In addition, many are easily accessible for viewing, such as Poás Volcano, surrounded by smoke and steam, or Irazú and its emerald lagoon.
