Imagine a country with a size of Croatia or half of Hungary in Europe or twice as big as Massachusetts, USA. Then imagine that this small area is covered by over 12,000 plant and tree species. It is an incredible biodiversity. Just among the flower species one of the most attractice group, the orchids have more than 12 hundred species. The several densily forested areas which still cover large portion of the country consist of more than 1900 tree species. The national tree is the Guanacaste (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) which also gave the name a largearea within the country. Number of fern species are close to a 1000 as well. So without question Costa Rica is a plant paradise which you can enjoy either just staying and looking around at our Toucan EcoLodge and Wildlife Reserve or using it as a base to discover different altitudinal zones for different habitats.
