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 is between two oceans and claims over 27 national parks. However, some of these are less attractive and get fewer visitors.

In the national park of Palo Verde, the absence of tourism allows wildlife to live without meddling from humans.

But the consequence of this isolation is that the animals are poached. To fight against it, rangers must patrol every night.
