Within Costa Rica you'll find 850 species of birds, 220 types of reptiles and 2,000 kinds of trees. Once a haven for only the most adventurous and nature-minded visitors, it is now a major tourist draw, having practically fathered the term "ecotourism." Two oceans and two continents converge here, creating a rugged geography that affords travelers the option of experiencing the rainforest, hiking a volcano, whitewater rafting or simply relaxing on a sandy beach. Those interested in less adventurous pursuits partake of its fertile history and culture in places like San José and Guanacaste.
Belize radiates like a rare gem. Given its size, it is surprisingly diverse both culturally and biologically. It is also a hotbed of ecotourism, with almost half of its area falling under some form of official protected status. It possesses not only the largest cave system in Central America, but the hemisphere's longest living barrier reef and three of its four atolls. Its borders house hundreds of prehistoric Mayan temples, huge expanses of rich rainforest, sun-kissed beaches, and the world's only jaguar reserve.
