Costa Rica

With one-quarter of its land area a national trust for parklands and wildlife refuges, Costa Rica is a draw for ecotourists and adventure travelers. Visitors are also attracted to its "ring of fire," with the Arenal Volcano being among the 10 most active volcanoes in the world, and its diving, especially in Cocos Island National Park, a World Heritage Site.
