Even though Costa Rica is a small country, it has a great biological and habitat diversity due to the convergence of two hemispheres, two oceans, and its varying geography. This creates wonderful changing views for travelers. There is a chain of mountains that forms a back- bone down the length of Costa Rica. more..

COSTA RICA NATIONAL PARKS

Costa Rica National Parks approximately 51,000 square Kilometers and more than 25% of this land is either a National Park of Costa Rica or a protected area. Costa Rica has 161 parks and refuges; you will be able to find information about many of them on this site. These protected areas are the treasure of this country since thousands of tourist and local people come every year to witness these natural protected marvels. The most visited Parks in Costa Rica are: Poas Volcano, Manuel Antonio National Park,Tortuguero, Cahuita and Arenal.

The rest of the parks get very few visitors basically because there is not proper information available for the potential tourists. This section of Costa Rica guides will provide you with full descriptions of Costa Rica National Parks, its size, location, directions and facilities. A map of each park with its trails is also available to help you plan your Costa Rica Vacation.

In the protected areas of Costa Rica you may do activities like hiking, camping, mountain biking, snorkeling, sea kayaking, and birdwatching. These activities can be done year round but is good to check a weather chart about Costa Rica, because rain in some areas may be intense.

When to Go to Costa Rica and its Parks.

Costa Rica is a country with an enormous variety of microclimates, so while in a certain area you may experience some rain, in another area not far away you may witness a beautiful sunny weather. There are two climatic seasons in the country. The dry season ( Costa Rica’s summer) and the green season ( Costa rica´s winter). On the green season usually you may experience rain during the day for short periods.

With the Global warming sometimes weather is not that predictable but usually Costa Rica is nice to visit all year round. In September and October is where most rain usually occurs, but for those who want to whiteness the Arenal Volcano with all its activity and with no clouds covering its peak this are the best months to see it.
