Costa Rica Uncovered: A Green Paradise Rooted in Coffee & Conservation
We take you on a journey through the mountains, cloud forests, and agricultural lands where some of the world’s finest coffee is grown. This section reveals how Costa Rica's coffee tradition blends with sustainable practices to preserve its rich biodiversity and environment.

Why Costa Rica Stands Out
- Over 50% of its land is protected: National parks, wildlife refuges, and biological reserves make Costa Rica a global leader in conservation.
- Home to 5% of the world's biodiversity despite covering only 0.03% of Earth’s surface.
- Carbon neutrality goal: Costa Rica aims to become one of the first carbon-neutral countries in the world.
- 99% renewable energy: In recent years, Costa Rica has run almost entirely on renewable energy, mainly hydro, wind, and geothermal.

Costa Rica is shaped by its volcanoes—more than 60 in total, with 6 still active. These mountains enrich the soil, perfect for growing high-quality coffee. Volcanic soil + altitude + biodiversity = exceptional cup profiles.

Sustainable Coffee -Naturally
- Coffee is often shade-grown, preserving tree cover and bird habitats.
- Many farms use organic practices and manage waste through composting and water filtration.
- Producers like those in Los Santos and Tarrazú partner with reforestation projects.

Costa Rica’s coastline—on both the Pacific and Caribbean—is home to protected marine parks and turtle nesting sites. National initiatives focus on plastic reduction, reef conservation, and community-based tourism.
-
Costa Rica banned single-use plastic in government institutions.
-
It offers eco-lodges and carbon-offset tours perfect for conscious travelers.
-
It's one of the only tropical countries to reverse deforestation.
