3 Must Do Activities in Costa Rica
Costa Rica, known for its stunning natural beauty and laid-back lifestyle, offers travelers a paradise unlike any other. From lush rainforests and majestic volcanoes to pristine beaches and vibrant wildlife, this Central American gem is a playground for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike. Whether you're ziplining through the canopy, surfing on world-class waves, or simply relaxing in a hammock with a fresh coconut in hand, Costa Rica invites you to embrace the Pura Vida way of life. With its commitment to sustainability and ecotourism, visiting Costa Rica not only offers unforgettable experiences but also contributes to the preservation of its breathtaking environment.
Costa Rica is one of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited! We visited during Labor Day weekend and traveled from Friday until Monday.
Hotel: Nayara Springs; I cannot recommend this hotel enough! The restaurants are delicious, the pools are so relaxing, the staff and service are so hospitable and the views are 100/10.
Three activities that I recommend to anyone who visits:
Proyecto Asis (Wildlife Rescue Center) - Instagram: @proyectoasis
Proyecto Asis is a unique wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center dedicated to the conservation and protection of the region's diverse animal species. Visitors to Proyecto Asis have the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences, including feeding and caring for rescued animals, while learning about the importance of wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship.
Whitewater rafting (with the Desafio Adventure Company) - Instagram: @desafiocr
Although this activity starts with an early morning walk up, it was worth it. The company picked us up directly from our hotel and then we headed to the whitewater rafting location. The staff prepared us well before we jumped into the raft. I was nervous when we started but started to get more confident as time went on. On our second to last run we jumped off onto dry land and the staff cut up some fresh watermelon and pineapples.
Sky Tram toward Arenal Volcano & Zip Line over the Rainforest - (Website)
This is an unforgettable experience. We ziplined through the forest in Costa Rica and it was both exhilarating and nerve-racking. The peace you feel ziplining through the trees is unlike any other.
