The world’s most celebrated and genuinely extraordinary eco-tourism destination — a Central American nation of remarkable environmental consciousness where active volcanoes rise above cloud forest canopies of extraordinary biodiversity, sloths hang in silent contemplation from the cecropia trees of Manuel Antonio’s pristine coastal national park, the Monteverde cloud forest reserve shelters the resplendent quetzal in a landscape of such extraordinary natural richness that it has inspired naturalists, conservationists, and travellers of every background with a sense of profound wonder and genuine environmental reverence.
