When I visited Costa Rica earlier this year, I saw how a country can develop successfully without an army, to become a stable democracy committed to peace and the protection of the natural environment. This confirmed my belief that my vision of Tibet in the future is a realistic plan, not merely a dream. Tenzin Gyatso

I think it is very important to conserve and protect the natural world. I've just come back from Costa Rica and they are really big on eco tourism. They have lots of reserves, and they are really into protecting wildlife. I visited a reserve called Cabo Blanco. You walk into the reserve and there are capucine monkeys swinging from the trees and sloths. I am big into nature, and seeing animals in their natural habitats. I love it. Colin Morgan

The taxi ride to Monteverde Costa Rica is worth the trip alone. One single lane of rocky road stretches over desolate mountain farmlands littered with cows. My favorite trips are the ones that make you feel like the only person that has ever traveled this path. unknown
