Costa Rica National parks
Costa Rica has managed to protect a larger section of its land than any other country in the world. The first wildlife conservation laws were issued in the 1960's but it wasn't until 1970 when the National Park System was created.
Today, over 25% of the total territory of Costa Rica has been protected under a variety of categories that include: national parks, forest reserves, "buffer zones", wildlife refuges, and others. Throughout the country representative sections of all the major habitats and ecosystems have been protected.
Our National Park System provides the Costa Ricans and foreign travelers with the privilege of exploring these awe-inspiring territories. A privilege we hope the future generations will enjoy as much as we do.
