The hanging bridges in Monteverde give you amazing views of the cloud forest. Get up close and personal with the fauna and flora above ground. For anyone fearful of heights, not to worry. The bridges are sturdy and stable. It’s fun and easy, especially if you are not interested in adrenaline-filled activities.
Hiking up Arenal Volcano is one of the most popular things to do in Costa Rica and a must-add to your bucket list for the trip. The famous volcano last erupted in 1968, and today visitors can hike through lava beds to find amazing views of Lake Arenal.
Poas volcano is active, but rest assured, there hasn’t been any activity in decades. While there, you’ll see the sulfuric, bubbling, green rain-fed lake at the bottom. It’s quite a unique experience and one worth having!
If you make it to Arenal Volcano National Park, then be sure to add La Fortuna waterfall to your to-do list. The short hike to the waterfall will afford you views of a luscious surrounding jungle, the lovely surrounding park, and more! Get your cameras ready!
You’ve, of course, heard of white sand beaches on tropical islands; some remote areas have pink sand on their shores, and Costa Rica offers you the experience of a black sand beach.
Costa Ricans love their ziplining, and it’s easy to see from the lines they have set up. A ziplining adventure will get you top-down views of waterfalls, some jungle animals, mountains and cliffs, and much more.
