PALO VERDE NATIONAL PARK, COSTA RICA

Unusual guides to the most beautiful natural parks in the world

An episode from the series TWENTY MASTERPIECES OF NATURE

Synopsis

Costa Rica sits between two oceans and has more than 27 national parks. However, some are less attractive and draw fewer visitors.

In Palo Verde National Park, the lack of tourism allows wildlife to live without human interference.

But this isolation also leads to poaching. To combat this, rangers must patrol every night.
