Costa Rica may be small, but it’s a huge player in the world of environmental conservation. This nation’s people love the ecological sanctuary they call home, and it absolutely shows. Consistently one of the “greenest” countries on earth, Costa Rica is packed with rain and cloud forests, beaches, rivers, volcanoes and farmland. The only things happier than the human inhabitants here and the families that visit are the abundant howler, capuchin and spider monkeys, toucans, caimans, sloths… the list goes on and on.
