In: Travel & Leisure
24 Apr 2010There are many animal species in Costa Rica, 200 are mammals and out of the 200 species, 100 of them are bats and only FOUR are monkeys! I know those statistics don’t look good but the chances of seeing a monkey while visiting Costa Rica are extremely high.
It would strange if someone hasn’t heard the name of the speedy and fierce Jaguar. And I’m not talking about the famous car brand! The jaguar is considered one of the fastest animals on earth and it is actually a kind of cat. Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica has the honor to publish the fact that they, along with parts of Guatemala, are the only places where Jaguars live. The jaguar is the 3rd largest feline after the Tiger and Lion. Jaguars have also featured prominently in Mayan and Aztec mythologies.
In this occasion I wrote about Costa Rica’s best hotels for families, groups of friends and honeymoons. I guarantee they will make your Costa Rican vacation a success.
