54: Costa Rica National Parks: Manuel Antonio, Rincón de la Vieja, Arenal, and Tenorio

Today, we’re heading to Costa Rica to explore its natural wonders. In this episode, we dive into the highlights of Manuel Antonio, Rincón de la Vieja, Arenal Volcano, and Tenorio Volcano National Parks; from their fascinating geologic histories to the remarkable plants and animals that call them home, including everyone’s favorite: sloths. We also explore other protected areas such as Ostional Wildlife Refuge, where we witnessed an unforgettable Olive Ridley sea turtle nesting event, and Monteverde. Along the way, we share practical travel recommendations and close with a few final reflections on our month-long focus on Costa Rica.

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature. The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!

A Special Thanks to Manuel Antonio, Rincon de la Vieja, Arenal Volcano, and Tenorio Volcano National Parks!
