Adventure in Costa Rica

Just doing things you normally never do: gliding along cables from treetop to treetop or making a tour on a horseback. Or exercising your favourite water sports in the tropical waters of Costa Rica. Costa Rica offers a lot of exciting adventures. The combination of activity and the quietness of nature gives you much variation during your stay in this country.

This page gives elsewhere more information about the more popular adventures that are suitable for every tourist like hiking, horseback riding, surfing, white water rafting and the canopytour.

But there is much more. Divers can exercise their favourite sport on different spots at the Pacific coast. The dream of every diver is Isla del Coco, situated some 310 miles from the coast. For those for whom diving is one bridge too far is snorkelling a very nice way to explore the underwater beauty. The Caribbean Sea at Cahuita National Park gives good possibilities. Either so for Isla del Caño in the South Pacific.

There are possibilities to explore the seas by kajak. Various kajak trips are offered on rivers and lakes (Samara, Manuel Antonio, Quepos)Mountainbikers can make rough trips at several places in the country.

And, at last, on two spots (Barra Honda and Venado) you can visit caves. Both excursions guarantee lots of adrenaline through tour veins!
