Activities in Costa Rica
Costa Rica's national parks are
a smorgasbord
of outdoor activities for both
the Gen-X
adrenaline junkie and the more
sedate stop-and-smell-the-roses
type rambler. Apart from the
opportunity
to do some prime-time hiking
through magnificent
rainforests, some parks offer
the chance
of fun rappelling. Monteverde
is the best
place for zip-lining (zipping
across the
top of the jungle canopy on flying
foxes),
while horse riding is available
just about
everywhere. If you're into bird
watching
you should head straight for
La Selva, Parque
Nacional Tapantí, Parque Nacional
Palo Verde,
Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre
Caño Negro
or the area around Tortuguero.
Turtle watchers
should visit Parque Nacional
Tortuguero,
where they can visit nesting
sites and watch
the turtles lay their eggs.
Pavones on the Pacific Coast
reportedly has
some of the best surfing in Central
America
while windsurfers should check
out the artificial
Laguna de Arenal, near the spectacular
volcano.
There are snorkeling and diving
possibilities
at the Reserva Biologica Isla
del Cano, 20km
(12mi) west of Bahía Drake, off
the northern
part of the Península de Nicoya
and in the
Parque Nacional Isla del Coco
- an isolated
island 500km (310mi) southwest
of Costa Rica
in the eastern Pacific.
Golfito is a center for deep-sea
fishing,
and there are plenty of opportunities
to
charter boats for several days
or more. Parsimina,
a small village at the mouth
of the Río Parsimina,
50km (31mi) northwest of Limón,
has several
excellent fishing lodges and
good offshore
reef fishing. Río Reventazon,
in central
Costa Rica, is one of the most
exciting and
scenic rivers in Costa Rica and
a favorite
with river rafters and kayakers.
Río Pacure,
the next major river valley east,
is perhaps
even more scenic and offers the
best white-water
rafting in the country through
spectacular
canyons clothed in virgin rain
forest.
