A weekend of all things Costa Rica is arriving at the Eden Project on May 18 and 19.
During the Costa Rica Festival, Eden visitors will be able to enjoy a wide variety of fun activities inspired by the beautiful Costa Rican rainforest - including a treasure trail and a dazzling exhibit of more than 500 orchids.
The aim of the Costa Rica Festival is to promote sustainable tourism and conservation as well as celebrate Costa Rica’s beautiful landscapes, extensive wildlife and incredible flora and fauna through diverse family-friendly activities.
As part of this partnership, Eden Project International Ltd - Eden’s global wing - is working with the Matambú Nature Reserve on the Nicoya Peninsula (in the north-west of Costa Rica). Here, 8,601 acres of farm land was assembled more than 20 years ago and allowed to naturally regenerate into secondary growth tropical dry forest. Now, it is a place where plants and wildlife can thrive and has benefitted the local community by safeguarding their water supply.
