If biodeiversity is the name of the game, then Costa Rica will surely be one of those countries on top. Meanwhile, in Costa Rica, there are even more destinations that are more biologically intense than some.

Monteverde and the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

The purpose of travelling is usually to see worlds that are beyond what we can conceive of at the moment. Some do it with great expectations, while a few go out of their respective homes and embark on an adventure without much expectations in their minds. This is the spirit of adventure.
