The Reserves of Costa Rica

The National Reserves of Costa Rica have the goal to preserve and rehabilitate tropical ecosystems and their biodiversity. They are different than the National Park system in the sense that the land is managed by a community or group of conservationists. Visitor revenues are used to maintain the trail system, pay park staff and purchase surrounding land in order to expand the protected zone. You can also visit out our map of Costa Rica Parks, Rivers, and Reserves to see the locations of these attractions.
