If you are the outdoorsy kind of person who enjoys sightseeing and enjoy interacting with nature, then Costa Rica is the place for you. Costa Rica is filled with exotic wildlife such as Toucans, baby three-toed sloths, white-faced monkeys (like the one on Ace Ventura), and much much more.
Costa Rica’s exotic atmosphere doesn’t stop there. If you feel the need to explore more than your backyard, then visit the amazing lakes, volcanoes, and jungles this place has to offer.
Places to see:

This is a must see place for you garden aficionados. Tizate Wellness Gardens are situated next to the Tizate River. The soft, yet loud noise of the river along with the harmonious sounds made by the insects and local wildlife help create a peaceful relaxation day; better than the tranquil music they play while getting a massage. If you are in need of a warm bath, skip the Jacuzzi and visit their thermal water oasis.

2.) Rio Corobici
If water rafting is for you, then float down this serene nine-mile river and enjoy magical scenery of Palo Verde National Park. This park has over 300 species of birds and other wildlife. Some of the most attractive wildlife are the Blue and Silver-throated Herons, howler monkeys, swallows, and different arrays of lizards.

3.) Monteverde
Once finishing floating the Rio Corobici, head down towards Monteverde. “Monteverde is Costa Rica’s green jewel, an environmental amusement park where nature rules and conservation is part of everyday life” www.guiascostarica.com. Monteverde is always full of mist, creating a feeling as if you where in a spa within a garden. Monteverde has some of the most mystical hundred-foot giant trees that soar up into the sky. Feel is if you are at the very top of a tree by taking tours on hanging brides; that is, if you are not afraid of heights.

“More than 100 species of mammals, including five types of felines, 400 different birds, 5,00 species of moths and tens of thousands of insects and plant varieties make Monteverde an eco-tourism mecca.” But perhaps the most intriguing and popular wildlife to see is the “majestic quetzal,” a tropical bird with emerald and ruby feathers.
I have to agree lol my recent environmentally friendly vacation tip was to go to Costa Rica I love the different destinations you recommended as well as the different information you give about the different species in Costa Rica.
