Why this combo

A walk through history and nature. The Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica protects one of the few remnants of Tropical Dry forest in the world, being this habitat to thousands of plants and animals. This forest has two extreme phases in a year; the dry season from December – April and the wet season from May – November. The Santa Rosa National Park has historical importance for Costa Ricans because this was the scenario of a battle in 1856 against foreign mercenaries that wanted to convert Central America into a slave nation, so this place is a symbol of freedom for all of us.
