Costa Rica: Enigmatic Wildlife Tour (EWT)

​The jungles and mountains of Costa Rica represent some of the most accessible epicenters for biodiversity in the world. The vast array of habitats in Costa Rica are home to over 250 species of mammals, 900 bird species, 175 species of amphibians, 250 reptiles, 15,000 invertebrates and 7,500 plants! The diversity is spread throughout the many ecoregions of the country. However, due to the nation’s small size, it is possible to visit and explore many of these regions in a single trip. From the cryptic Coronated Tree Frog to the large, yet surprisingly stealthy, Baird’s Tapir, some of the wildlife of Costa Rica is both rare and captivating, whilst many others are very accessible indeed, which is why Costa Rica is one of the premier wildlife watching destinations on the planet. While some animals make their presence easily known, most of them act as silent observers hidden in the shadows of the canopy. Over the course of this itinerary we will attempt to find as many of these elusive animals as we can, while also seeing many of the more regular wildlife one would expect from a Costa Rica tour.
