Costa Rica in all it’s beauty has so much to offer. With only a little planning, you take advantage of wide selection of opportunities available to explore this rich and abundant land. Depending on which part of Costa Rica awaits for you, you will discover each holds magic of it’s own. Most of Costa Rica’s tours are day trips and are reasonably priced for the traveler. So where does your adventurous spirit take you?
Do you like to horseback ride? If so, then a great 5 hour ride through a tropical forest along the machuca river could be the perfect tour for you. This ride begins at an old cattle farm called the “hacienda” and takes you thru a mango plantation at the last mile.
Perhaps you would rather be in the water rather than riding by it, then consider a swim and snorkeling tour. Playa Agujas offers a 4 hour excursion which includes the traditional favorites such as swimming, beachcombing and snorkeling, but there also is hermit crab races and nature walks among waterfalls and cliffs. Also, keeping close to water activities, is a full day tour of whitewater rafting. A 3 hour drive out of San Jose to water’s edge where your guide leads you on a nine mile event breaking easy rapids. If you would rather be an observer, then indulge yourself in Costa Rica’s Calypso Island cruise out of San Jose. This full day trip offers a relaxing ride thru the Gulf of Nicoya on route to Tortuga Ilsand, where you have the opportunity to hang out and relax, or swim and snorkel. A tropical breakfast and lunch is provided.
One of the best attractions to the paradise of Costa Rica is the abundant natural resources and varieties of birds and other wildlife. Costa Rica offers foot tours and biking tours to accommodate the traveler’s need for closeness of nature. Whether you choose a bike riding excursion to the Irazu Volcano deep in the Orosi Valley or embark on a foot path through the tropical gardens in Lancaster, these guided half day tours remain a favorite pastime of Costa Rica travelers. Consider spending a few hours touring the Butterfly farm of 1000 different types of butterflies, or combine this tour with a trip to a historical coffee plantation. These tours are rich in cultural and nature content. Corcovado jungle is considered “the most biologically intense place on earth” by the National Geographic Society and offers a must have adventure tour for anyone who craves the jungle with a variety of species.
Costa Rica is defined in artistic expression and offers exploration into their culture with tours taking you thru Sarchi and the Oxcart factory, as well as a city tour of San Jose where shopping and souvenirs are abundantly available to travelers.
When the itinerary is being planned, think about what it is you really dream of doing. Whether it be a half day trip just wondering thru gardens or city, or if your dream includes a 10 day adventure of hiking volcanoes, or kayaking in a class III river thru the jungles, Costa Rica lives loud as a prime vacation destination.
These are only a few of multiple Costa Rican tours available. With the richness of hearty rainforests, deep volcanoes, endless rivers and plush jungles, there is something for everyone.
