the ultimate in eco tourism and adventure vacations in costa rica

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.
 

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.

Some basic Costa Rica Ecotourism facts:

• 500,000 to one million plant and animal species

• 9000 identified species of vascular plants, including over 900 different species of trees, and more are being listed each year

Consider Finca Las Brisas as your place overlooking the Pacific Ocean that you can invest in, enjoy the environment, help to reforest, and contribute to a country committed to being one of the most protected places in the world.

Imagine a private sanctuary with horses grazing, kids in hammocks in the tree house, miles of hiking trails, waterfalls and swimming holes, neighbors with similar eco values, sustainable living, and dinner from the organic farm accompanied by today’s catch, all surrounded by and integrated with a diverse wildlife.
