Popular Things to Do in Costa Rica
By:Praline Esguerra

Once you go on an overseas adventure travel in Costa Rica there's definitely a lot of things you can do and see; however, you may have to settle with the most popular activities in this delightful country in case of time constraints.

Visiting Costa Rica's spectacular beaches is one of the many fun things to do in Costa Rica. This country is known for its beautiful Caribbean and Pacific Ocean coasts. They come in different colors from white sand to black sand as well as various textures like soft and coarse to grainy. The beaches can be classified into several types depending on your preference. There are public beaches, private beaches, and beaches great for surfing, beaches great for relaxing and so much more!

Some of the best Costa Rica tours involve canopy and coffee tours. Canopy tours include zip lining and gondola where you'll enjoy a heart pumping ride up from one of the treetops to other tree platforms while safely attached in a harness on a strong cable. Usually, canopy tours are widely popular not because of educational trips but because of the fun ride. Canyoning is another fun yet slightly dangerous activity since you can rappel down the falls like in Manuel Antonio waterfalls.

Travel agencies in Costa Rica would just love to take you on a cruise to see the canals of Tortuguero, wetlands of Cano Negro and mangroves of the Damas where you can just relax and savor the natural view of the waters. This is just the perfect place for honeymooners to share a romantic dinner beneath a starry night.

Other Costa Rica tours involve exciting water-related activities such as surfing, kayaking, white-water rafting, and windsurfing. The Manuel Antonio National Park is considered as one of the best beaches that are splendid for surfing while the Lake Arenal, its balmy water is considered exquisite for windsurfing. White water rafting is another way to spend a whole day of fun. One of the famous rides is on the Pacuare River where you are rushed through two sections of forests then into an exquisite gorge.

Let's not forget a stroll in Costa Rica National Parks and Rain forests where you'll see its natural abundance in flora and fauna as well as lush tropical green forests. Bird watching, of course, is inclusive while tourists walk along the forest trails. You can't help but become an amateur bird watcher since you'll be drawn to its exquisite colors and plumage. One of the most popular cloud forest is the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Its trail allows you to see the resplendent quetzal considered to be the most beautiful bird in the western hemisphere but is very much prevalent in Monteverde during nesting season from March to April. Corcovado National Park is another great selection for nature walks since it is considered the largest tract of virgin rain forest in Costa Rica. It's famously the natural habitat for scarlet macaws and other colorful bird species.

According to most Costa Rican vacation reviews these are some of the most popular things that tourists just love to do while vacationing in Costa Rica. I definitely wouldn't mind taking a trip right now just to experience all the excitement. So if you can't do all these stuff in one trip then save some for later.
