About Costa Rica national parks
Surprisingly, Costa Rica's national park system is quite young, having been founded in 1970. The country is blessed with a spectacular diversity of flora and fauna. This diversity led to Costa Rica adopting the slogan, "Pura Vida". Pura vida is more than a slogan though because the philosophy is widely embraced by the people, who support the government's efforts to conserve natural resources and to protect the wilderness for future generations. Today, 28% of the total land area of the country is protected biosphere. 10% of the land is designated for the 32 major national parks, with the remaining 18% set aside for wildlife refuges, biosphere reserves, rainforest preserves, and other protected conservation zones. The national parks have become a magnet for international eco-tourism. Ecotour
