Where To Go In Costa Rica - Attractions & Things To Do
It is almost too good to be true, but the modest territory of Costa Rica is officially the "greenest" country in the world while holding first place in the "Happy Planet Index"! The country borders Nicaragua and Panama, and is surrounded to west by the Pacific Ocean and to east by the Caribbean Sea. Its central location in the Americas is the reason why the climate is tropical and Costa Rica is a magnificent vacation destination all year round. The usual temperatures vary between 50-81 degrees Fahrenheit (from 10-27 degrees Celsius), depending on the time of the year and the location in the country. Tourists should keep in mind that Costa Rica is popular with its micro-climates and the weather conditions depend on topography, rainfall or elevation. Because of the blooming tourist industry, peerless vacation attractions, many wonderful places where to go and a plethora of things to do, in some parts of the country have been developed high-end resorts supplying very rewarding vacation packages. However, some of the most luxurious hotels in Costa Rica are located in the capital city of San Jose and certain areas in the north-western Pacific region such as Nicoya Peninsula and Guanacaste.
While vacation in Costa Rica, visitors will be certainly amazed by the wide variety of national parks, cultural events, awesome sights and fun activities. Arenal Volcano Park is one of the biggest vacation attractions in Costa Rica and is a combination of hot water rivers, lakes and volcano mountains. The Arenal Volcano is quite fascinating itself, with its near-perfect cone and amazing lava and lights show. It is believed it has 2-3 million years and is one of the biggest non-dormant volcanos in the world. Tourists are advised to use caution and seek professional guidance when exploring the volcanic area. The terrain and small eruptions may be pretty tricky, so it is always a good idea to have someone with more experience around.
Other premier national parks in Costa Rica where tourists should go are Monteverde and its virgin natural locations, Manuel Antonio with a series of amazing beaches and monkey inhabited forests, and Tortuguero, located on the coast of Caribbean Sea and home of an incredible net of canals. However, to visitors who want to enjoy the magic of local flora and fauna to the fullest, the Canopy Tour (canopy means tree top) can fulfill all wishes and desires. The most popular version of these kind of excursions includes sliding from one tree platform to another, while secured with a thick rope or cable. Another type of canopy expeditions offers visitors views of the jungle from different levels in the trees' crown during a ride with a cable car and escorted by a professional guide.
Costa Rica offers tourists an amazing variety of natural attractions like rivers, beaches and crystal waters all around. The Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean surround the country in a scenic embrace of white sand, covering both private and wild strands. Amongst the exciting things to do in Costa Rica, surfing is popular in the whole area (but especially on the Pacific side), as well as sailing, rafting, windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking. Fishing is a preferred vacation activity as well, so voyagers can enjoy a relaxing cruise in one of the many fishing locations in Costa Rica. For all history and culture enthusiasts, the National Theater & Gold Museum and Jade Museum, both situated in the heart of San Jose, provide magnificent collections of local heritage and plenty of ancient artifacts. These are only a few of the places where to go and and just some of leisure activities that make a vacation in Costa Rica memorable and exciting. Adding the very convenient all inclusive vacation packages supplied by a wide range of classy hotels and resorts, it is obvious that a simple break or long journey in this country turns to a peerless adventure in Central America.
