the ultimate in adventure tourism and adventure vacations at your own costa rica property

Nowhere else in the world are so many types of habitats clustered so tightly together in one small country. The consequence of a unique geography squeezed by the Pacific and Caribbean Oceans. A place that you can snorkel in the morning, visit the mountains in the afternoon and fish in the evening on the other coast. Even on our finca a wide variety of wildlife can be observed (like the Howler Monkey above sitting in a tree next to our recently constructed ranchito at our soon to be community center facility) because of our two rivers that run year-round and all of the secondary forests. Like the howler monkey above sitting in a tree next to our community center.

While Costa Rica has only about 0.1% of the world's land mass, it contains 5% of the world's biodiversity. Over 25% of Costa Rica is composed of protected forests and reserves.
 

Because of the incredible diversity of flora and fauna, protected forests and reserves, no other country has such a variety of life for ticos and visitors to enjoy. For example, measured in terms of the number of species per 10,000 square kilometers Costa Rica ranks at the very top of the list of countries at 615 species. (The US has 104 species.)

The geography, weather, the wide variety of species, all contributes to this being a primary eco tourism and adventure vacation destination.

• 500,000 to one million plant and animal species
