Plants

Vibrantly colored, Costa Rica flora is definitely some of the most beautiful in the entire world.

Some of Costa Rica’s plants, like coffee and orchids, get all the attention. But the truth is, the bushes, flowers, and trees that cover the nation’s vast landscapes are all incredible. From rainbow-colored heliconias to the emerald-green epiphytes that drip from cloud forest trees, Costa Rica’s vibrant colors are owed in great part to the nation’s spectacular plant life. The weather here makes an excellent home for plants from all over the world and apart from their beauty, plants growing in Costa Rica have long been sources of traditional remedies.
