Casual surfers, avid birders, adventure seekers and tanned sun worshippers have all seem to come together in this dynamic country, united in its rich charm and painted landscapes.
Its diverse geography makes it a highly sought-after tourist destination. But there’s much more to this magnificent place. Read on to discover the top things you can do in Costa Rica:
Beaches
Costa Rica is a paradise for surfers, scuba divers or beach lovers. It’s home to some of the most picture-perfect natural beaches in the world.
Among the region’s best beaches for surfing are Playa Jaco, Santa Teresa and Playa Hermosa. Some of the most famous snorkeling and scuba diving spots in Costa Rica are Catalina Islands, Cano Island and the Gulf of Papagayo. Explore marine life at its best in Costa Rica. From manta rays to even dolphins, you get to see fabulous marine life.
In fact, whale watching is a common activity in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has the longest humpback whale watching season in the world.
Rainforest and Marine Experiences
At the southwest corner of the country hides one of Costa Rica’s most unique, off-the-grid getaways—the Osa Peninsula, where wildlife outnumbers human life. Biodiversity here is teeming, one third of the area protected as the Corcovado National Park: one of only 2 locations where during a rainforest hike, you can see all four species of the country’s monkeys. Adjacent Golfo Dulce promises dolphin and whale sightings; Osa’s marine-paradise counterpart, the biological reserve of Isla del Caño, offers spectacular diving and coral reefs.
White Water Rafting
Costa Rica is renowned for its raging rivers and world-class white water rafting. The Pacuare River has been deemed one of the top 5 rafting rivers in the world because of its breathtaking beauty and challenging rapids.
Sunset Cruise
Relax under a gorgeous sunset sky on a cruise in Guanacaste. Most of the beaches on the Pacific Coast, such as Playa Tamarindo, offer sunset cruises. These cruises usually include snorkeling, drinks and snacks.
Horseback Riding and Zip Lining
Go zip lining over the cloud forest. It’s a fun activity for groups. Not all zip lines are high; so you don’t have to worry about heights. You can do this activity throughout the country.
Similarly, horseback riding is extremely popular in Costa Rica. You can ride a horse at the beach or mountains.
