Highlights of Costa Rica

Arenal Volcano

The country's most active volcano, Arenal's eruptions are strombolian in type, being frequent but moderate and can be viewed without danger as long as the viewers are behind the safety perimeter. This constant activity and minimal endangerment makes Arenal a popular tourist destination, especially at night, because the lava and incandescent rocks make a spectacular sight. The La Fortuna Waterfall is a steep hike and short swim away from Arenal. This area offers some of the most gorgeous scenery in all of Costa Rica. The 70-meter ribbon of water falls into a great swimming hole, surrounded by lush tropical forest, protected by the local conservation project. The water below is a greenish-blue that makes for a pleasing view.

Monte Verde Cloud Forest Adventure

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is a private non-profit reserve administered by the Tropical Science Center, and contains 6 distinct ecological zones. The canopy is extremely rich with birds, insects, butterflies, and thousands of plants. The Monte Verde Cloud Forest Sky Trek is a system of zip lines ranging from mountain to mountain, which together have a distance of 2.5 miles of linear cable. The tour gives you the opportunity to fly through a cable and have a unique experience of adventure and adrenaline at speeds up to 40 miles per hour with distances ranging up to 2500 feet and heights of 524 feet. In addition the tour offers 5 observation towers that exceed the cloud forest treetops providing a panoramic view.

Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve

Visitors to the Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve are invited to hike the reserve, learn about medicinal herbs and their traditional uses, and tour the Iguana Farm. Since 1990, the Iguana Farm has worked to research the green iguana, encourage reproduction and protect the fragile species. In 1994, members of the Kekoldi, Bribri and Cabecar indigenous groups formed the Kekoldi Wak Ka Koneke, or Kekoldi Caretakers. Together, these individuals work to preserve indigenous culture, protect their lands and purchase additional acreage to reforest and conserve.

Manuel Antonio National Park

Manuel Antonio National Park consists of four beautiful beaches and a rain forest that hosts white faced monkeys, squirrel monkeys, sloths and howler monkeys. Tiny it may be, but this 682-hectare national park epitomizes everything tourists flock to Costa Rica to see: stunning beaches, a magnificent setting with islands offshore (bird sanctuaries for marine species), lush rainforest laced with a network of welcoming trails, and wildlife galore. You are guaranteed close-up encounters with monkeys, sloths, coatimundis, and scarlet macaws.
