INBioparque, an interactive educational park, was created by the National Institute of Biodiversity in February of 2000 to spread a greater awareness of the value of biodiversity. INBioparque offers a great overview of Costa Rica’s biodiversity and protected areas.
- Students learn about the formation of the Central American isthmus and the reasons for its various climate zones.
- Students hike along the trails through three different ecosystems: the Rainforest, Central Valley and Dry forest, and the Wetlands where they see the abundant wildlife of each habitat.
- At INBioparque, students get an up-close look at caimans, tarantulas, snakes, turtles, and more at the Wildlife Stations, watch unique fish species at the Aquarium, and even interact with sheep and rabbits at The Farm.
