Head to Tortuguero National Park to try and catch sea turtles nesting, or make for the rain forest to spot some of the 850 different species of bird that reside here.
Culture
As stated, diversity is the name of the game in Costa Rica and that extends to the country's population. Immigration has led to a rich and varied cultural heritage.
