Costa Rica is best known for its natural beauty and friendly people who prize the environment and peace. With its political stability, extraordinary biodiversity, natural attractions and reputation for conservation, Costa Rica is a magnet for nature lovers from all over the world. The diverse topography allows for a large number of outdoor activities. Governmental programs have safeguarded the country's image as an ecotourism destination and have promoted Costa Rica as one of the best places to experience the tropics, while protecting the environment from negative impacts of tourism. Approximately 27 percent of the land is designated to National Parks, forest reserves, and reservations for indigenous people, allowing Costa Rica to develop a very large national park system. An influx of Costa Ricans visit these national parks on weekends and major holidays such as Easter Week, Independence Day, and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. These parks, some of which are noted worldwide for their vegetation and wildlife, also attract international tourists.
