Less than one-eighth the size of California, the small Central American country of Costa Rica boasts the highest density of plant and animal species in the world. In more than 200 stunning color photographs, Adrian Hepworth—twice a winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition—surveys this diverse land, which contains volcanoes and unspoiled beaches, cloudforest and high, treeless plains. Even more strikingly, Hepworth's photographs introduce Cost Rica's distinctive native wildlife, including the scarlet macaw, the resplendent quetzal, the three-toed sloth, and spider and howler monkeys.
