Lección Once- Costa Rica

I know that Costa Rica is in Central America I could point it out on a map, if it had words.

Ccotourism is a type of tourism that focuses on nature, such as plants, animals, or natural formations. About 25 percent of Costa Rica is protected in parks or preserves. This amounts to 1,154,945 hectares, or 4459 square miles of land to be protected by the government. Costa Rica has the highest percentage of protected land in the world.

At Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, an national park, there are over 2,000 plant species and over 30 species of hummingbirds. Costa Rica is also the home of some species that are being threatened with extinction, such as jaguars, pumas, and scarlet macaws.

One place recommended for beach camping is Naranjo Beach in Santa Rosa National Park, which is a popular camping ground and surfing location. Barra Honda Caverns National Park is another recommended place for tourists who want to stay in a small cabin, which is equipped with bunk beds and a bathroom. In addition, visitors can have park rangers cook their food for them.


I have never been camping before. I would never go camping to Costa Rica because there is just too much wildlife and plantlife.
