## What is Wildlife Explorer?

Set off on a hunt for the +150 most iconic species of Costa Rica — from the Resplendent Quetzal to the Jaguar, including sloths and poison dart frogs. Spot them, collect them, and unlock badges with every new observation.

A REAL FIELD JOURNAL
Mark each species you observe during your trip and watch your collection grow. Every animal has its own profile: description, surprising anecdote, best season to spot it, weight, size, and conservation status.

COLLECT BADGES
Unlock rewards as you make observations: first steps, seasoned explorer, master of mammals, reptile expert... How many will you unlock?

PLAN BY REGION
Manuel Antonio, Monteverde, Tortuguero, Corcovado... Discover which species to look for in each area you visit, and plan your itinerary accordingly.

+150 SPECIES TO DISCOVER
Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and marine life — a complete, illustrated overview of Costa Rican biodiversity, sorted by observation difficulty (from the easiest to the rarest).

Whether you're planning your trip or already deep in the jungle, Wildlife Explorer turns every walk into a treasure hunt.

Perfect for families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants a fun keepsake of their Costa Rican adventure.
