Description
Immersing oneself in a journey of biodiversity discovery becomes an extraordinary experience when regenerative activities, such as beach cleaning, are adopted. From intricate rainforests to pristine stretches of sand, from majestic volcanoes to meandering waterways, Costa Rica offers a unique concentration of ecosystems. This country stands out as one of the most species-rich in the world, hosting 5 percent of the planet’s total biodiversity on a territory that represents just 0.03 percent of the Earth’s surface.
