Join us for a walk on the wild side this month, as Howler takes a perspective on Costa Rica’s biodiversity that’s vaster and deeper than anything we’ve featured before — but still only scratches the surface. Knowing how hard it is to cover this topic in a way that’s somewhat comprehensive but also concise, we had fun coming up with February’s cover story collection of flora and fauna facts, figures and photos. There is plenty for readers to explore in the way of wildlife articles, videos, puzzles and tour deals.
However far and wide you’re inspired to travel for unparalleled exposure to nature, this magazine issue highlights a variety of options. Our road trip series concludes with the author’s all-time favorite route — La Fortuna to Monteverde, around Lake Arenal.
In addition, get glimpses at a variety of Latin American locales — all based on recommendations from locals. Our “top 5” sampling of attractions in five unique spots begins in Cartago, Costa Rica.
