Find an Adrenaline Rush in Costa Rica

April 11, 2019

Costa Rica is a prime destination for adventure seekers due to its rich biodiversity, varied landscapes, and commitment to eco-tourism.  The country offers a wide range of adventure sports, including zip-lining, white-water rafting, canyoning, and waterfall rappelling. Costa Rica is not only an adventure hub, but also an ideal destination for relaxation, offering serene environments and numerous wellness opportunities. This includes hot springs, beaches, wellness retreats, eco-lodges, rainforest retreats, spa treatments, and more. The nation’s tropical climate, with its warm temperatures and gentle breezes, enhances the relaxing experience. Travelers will start their journey in Puerto Viejo, where they will become acquainted with each other and their leaders. This beachside town is perfect for rest and relaxation. Everyone can explore Cahuita National Park, which is known for its rich biodiversity; it’s home to dense tropical rainforests and extensive coral reefs. At Gandoca-Manzanillo National refuge, the group will see numerous ecosystems along the southern Caribbean coast. Travelers can enjoy an afternoon exploring Puerto Viejo, go biking, or partaking in an optional surf lesson on Playa Negra. There will be a two-day whitewater rafting adventure, with a self-guided walk to waterfalls and natural pools. In addition, a morning will be spent rappelling down four different waterfalls. Afterward, the group will tour a local coffee plantation with a tasting. Depart on the final day.
