Coco Island is a good place to visit for several reasons. The first one because of its unique, exotic and beautiful flora, fauna, important endemism and biological diversity that make the island a natural laboratory. For instance, visitors can watch 235 kinds of plants, 362 kinds of insects, 85 kinds of Birds, 57 types of crustaceans and so forth. Second reason to visit this island is because of its contributions to science through investigations based on its nature for different national and international entities and individuals, such as CIMAR UCR, MINAET, National Geographic, Jean Philippe Cousteau and Jacques Cousteau who consider the island the most beautiful of the world. The third reason is the several touristic activities people can do there. For example, Walks, Snorkeling, Scuba diving and Sighting of marine fauna, and also you can take a package tour to Coco Island from any touristic agency.

Another reason you should not ignore is the influence of the island in film industry and literature, such as Jurassic Park whose novel writer obtained the inspiration after his visit to Coco Island and The Treasure Island. This story was inspired in the historic relevance pirates and expeditionary groups gave to the island. The history says that pirates used the island as a refuge for their treasures and themselves. Because of the reasons above explained, you should add Coco Island to your list of “must” places to visit.
