Nature trip Costa Rica<\/h3>\n

Costa Rica is undoubtedly a lush and pristine nature destination. Travel along through the many beautifully built-out nature parks where you can learn about the rich fauna and flora. Cruise through the rainforest to the Caribbean coast<\/strong> and explore Tortuguero National Park<\/strong> , the natural gem of this beautiful coast. Inland, you will be overwhelmed by the active Arenal<\/strong> volcano, which emits red-hot lava flows daily. Through the fairytale cloud forest of Monteverde<\/strong>, hike across suspension bridges as high as 35 meters and discover a new world in the canopy of the forest giants. On the Pacific coast of the Nicoya<\/strong> Peninsula, you will find the most beautiful beaches in the wild bays. The smallest national park, Manuel Antonio<\/strong>, is grand in its fantastic location and lush fauna and flora. A wonderful end to a wonderful nature trip!<\/p>\n
