Costa Rica has so much to offer the wildlife enthusiast that it no wonder that ecotourism is growing in the country. More than 70% of foreign travelers visit one or more nature destination, and half of these visitors come specifically to see Costa Rica Wildlife.
During the past few years, natural wonders of Costa Rica have been discovered. From the late 1980s to the mid - 1990s, tha annual number of visitors doubled, and now around a million tourists foreign tourists visit every year. Tourism surpassed bananas and coffe as the nation's biggest industry, and prices for the traveler have risen substantially. On this page we present places that cater to real Eco-Tourism to affordable rates.

Point and beach breaks, lefts and rights, reefs and river mouths, warm water and waves year round make Costa Rica a favourite surfer's destination. Some beaches may be hard to get to but are totally uncrowded (sometimes you'll be the only one surfing there all day), and even the easily accessible ones tend to be much less crowded than the beaches of Hawaii, southern California, and Sydney.
The waves are often quite big, though not as huge as teh almost mythical ones in Hawaii. But they make up for this in length, with fast kilometer-long waves at Pavones on the south Pacific coast giving rides of two or three minutes. It's an athletic challenge to stay upright on such a long wave.
