Costa Rrrrica

Did you know that more than 27% of Costa Rica is a wildlife reserve, national park, or other protected area?


I'm thinking that tours are the way to go in Costa Rica, whether you are a fan of plants, fruit, or coffee.


The Del Monte pineapple farm is in Costa Rica, and you can take tours of the plantation to see how they process them and even taste one. You can also visit a Dole banana plantation. Obviously to get to these places you will be traveling through rainforest and seeing tons of different animals and plant life species.


Costa Flores is one of the largest tropical flower farms with over 600 different species of flowers! There's even 120 different types of ONE flower (heliconia).


You can go on coffee tours, since Costa Rica is pretty famous for their coffee. Grano de Oro is a century-old coffee mill where you can see the work that goes into harvesting and making coffee - obviously you will get to drink some of this coffee.


If I went to Costa Rica, I would totally take a tour of a volcano. THAT is my new goal in life.
