Within Costa Rica's 51,200 square km ther is a wider variety of species of birds than in all of Europe or North America. Because of its lush 1,500km of tropical sun-bathed beaches and the wild diversity of Flora and Fauna to be found in its wide array of microclimates Costa Rica has justifiably earned its reputation of paradise regained.

Costa Rica's  microclimates vary from the barren cold volcanic tundra to the exotic cloud forest, from the deep dense jungle of Talamanca to the tropical dry forests of Guanacaste, from quiet gold-hued beaches where the Baulas Tortoises build their nests to the winding Tortuguero Canals where the crocodile is king. Eve so, Costa Rica's  overall climate can be best described as mild. Being located within the tropics, seasonal changes in Costa Rica are not as dramatic as they are in countries on other latitudes.

O areas near the coasts, temperatures may be as much as ten degrees higher.
