(7 May 2026, London) National Geographic Traveller (UK) is inviting readers to discover Costa Rica as it enters a new phase of regenerative, responsible tourism.
The first tropical country to reverse deforestation, it’s long given wildlife-lovers cause for celebration. Now, local NGOs in the Central American nation are expanding protected areas in Corcovado National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
With this remote corner more accessible than ever, the team head out to experience its vast array of fauna after dark, staying in a working ranger station in the heart of the jungle. And that’s just the start. Readers can slide into the saddle on a horse trek up the fertile slopes of the Arenal Volcano; taste the east’s Afro-Caribbean legacy; and wander the cool cloud forests of San Gerardo de Dota. Experience all this and more in the June issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), on newsstands now.
