]]>The post 3 Adventures You Must Have in Costa Rica appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>The importance of environmental conservation is engrained in the country’s culture, and almost 30% of its jungles are protected. As a result, wildlife abounds, as do opportunities for adventure tourism. Whether you consider yourself an adrenaline junkie or quiet nature walks are more your speed, you’re sure to find something you’ll enjoy. Here are 3 adventures we most recommend.
Ziplining
Get up close and personal with the critters of the canopy from 100 feet above the jungle floor. Almost 90% of Costa Rica’s animal species live in the upper levels of the trees, so the best way to catch a glimpse is by getting on their level.
Snorkeling
The Caribbean and Pacific coasts of Costa Rica both offer great opportunities for snorkeling. We especially love the Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge for its breathtaking views of coral reefs, sea turtles, and much more.
Nature Hikes
There’s no shortage of sites to see and wildlife to encounter for those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground. Organized nature hikes can allow visitors to catch a glimpse of sloths, ocelots, frogs, and other animals that call the country’s jungle home.

]]>Arenal Volcano
Breathtaking volcanos are scattered all around Costa Rica, but none of them compares to Arenal. The fact it’s the most active of all the volcanoes in Costa Rica isn’t stopping it from being one of its most popular attractions, especially since its dormant period which kicked off in 2010.
Lake Arenal
Volcanic crater lakes are pretty common in areas with high volcanic activity, but Lake Arenal doesn’t fall under this category. This lake is connected to the building of the nearby Arenal dam, and it tripled in size since its construction, becoming Costa Rica’s largest lake.
Arenal Hanging Bridges
If you’re in the mood to take an exciting walking tour around Arenal National Park, it’s highly likely you’ll cross one of Arenal Hanging Bridges at some point. This series of suspension bridges is one of the national park’s most picture-perfect attractions, with amazing views of the lake and volcano in the distance.
