Although it's a relatively small country, Costa Rica is home to around 5 percent of the world's biodiversity. That means no matter where you choose to explore, you're sure to meet some of the most exotic animals you'll ever see - including adorable treefrogs like me! Costa Rica's lush rainforests aren't the only place you'll encounter amazing animals either, as the waters off the country's two coasts are teeming with hundreds of species of tropical fish.
There are endless ways to meet the exotic marine life that inhabits the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea during your Costa Rica vacation. Imagine swimming alongside moray eels, manta rays, and schools of tropical fish as you explore the country's vast coral reefs, or trying to land a blue marlin on a sportfishing expedition - sounds fun, doesn't it?
From tiny species such as barrier reef anemonefish to larger specimens like swordfish, the waters off Costa Rica are teeming with exotic marine life. No matter how you choose to enjoy the water, there's a whole world under the waves just waiting for you!
