If you have seen posters or fliers promoting Costa Rica travel then you have likely seen frogs on many or some of them. This is because frogs are a national symbol of Costa Rica, in particular the Red-eye Tree Frog, seen in one of the photos below. This type of frog is as identifiable with Costa Rica as the maple leaf or beaver in Canada or the eagle in United States. If you are turned of by frogs you have seen in your area or when camping, do not let this prejudice turn you off from seeing these creatures at a wildlife preserve in Costa Rica. You will be surprised, and very likely impressed, by the sheer variety of frogs and how beautiful some of them are.
There are some 175 species of amphibians in Costa Rica, and 85% of them are frogs. You will be amazed at the variety of frogs in Costa Rica. Besides the Red-eye Tree frog, you will find Poisno Dart Frogs, the semitransparent glass frog, the large Smoky Jungle Frog, and many more.
