Costa Rica is a very nice country to visit. This country has very interesting places to visit and to have fun, as Guanacaste. Costa Rica has a lot of biodiversity, it have more than 1,000 orchid species in "Monteverde" (territory in the center of the country). Actually this region has the greatest variety of orchids in the world. This is only one kind of the 10,000 species of plants that Costa Rica has. With only 0.03% of the global surface, Costa Rica has the 5% of the biodiversity the world. This percentage is awesome for the country because is a developing country that has not only very large cities and small towns, but have space to develop the forests near big cities. The vegetation varies with the altitude of the ground. In addition, there are more than 2,000 species of butterflies, 220 reptiles, 1,600 species of fish, 750 in fresh water and 850 is salty water. In Costa Rica there are more than 200 species of mammals, around 850 species of birds, almost 200 types of amphibians and 220 species of reptiles in inhabited lands. The common animals in Costa Rica are: the puma, jaguar, deer, monkeys, coyote, armadillos and several species of birds like quetzal. The most uncommon animals that we saw were: Aguuti, white nosed coati, mantle howler monkey, keel billet toucan, squirrel cuckoo, great kiskadee, gray necked wood rail, and white throated magpie-jay. We saw and heard howler monkeys that were jumping from one tree to another, when we were returning to the second camp, that day we tried to visit the volcano but we can't. We were really amazed with Dychkowski's photos. They were really noisy, and we were shocked because we had never heard anything alike. We smelled the disgusting monkey wastes that were left there. Also we saw an Aguuti eating near a tree in the first camp; we saw it in the morning while we were brushing our teeth. We felt really excited because we had ever seen an animal so close to us. We discuss and we conclude that these experiences are one of the most excited things it had happen to us.
