Costa Rica stands out as one of great surprises. Not only tropical rainforest but beautiful beaches, active volcanoes. Costa Rica is a small country, with a variety of tropical habitats found within, and they are protected by the best developed conservation program in Latin America. Costa Rica is famous for its enlightened approach to conservation.
About 27% of the country is protected, with 11% within the national park system. Costa Rica has had democratic elections since the 19th century and is one of the most peaceful nations in the world, having avoided the despotic dictatorships, terrorism, and internal strife that has torn apart other countries in the region. Costa Rica is the safest country to visit in Latin America.
