Today you can still typically see small eruptions every 15 minutes and lava flowing in multiple directions. The heat produces the nearby Tabacan hot springs where you can enjoy the hot baths, massages, and some great local food.

Costa Rica Vacation Spot #6:
Enjoy a Family Rafting Trip down the tranquil Corobici river. The water is calm enough for children and senior citizens to safely navigate.

Bird watchers will love the opportunity of seeing some of the 300 species of birds that make this area their home. Some of the other wildlife typically encountered are spider monkeys, iguanas, caimans, toucans, and parrots to name just a few.

Costa Rica Vacation Spot #7:
The Costa Rica Tourism and Travel Bureau is offering a Rural Railbike Adventure Tour that's great for the whole family. Railbikes are special bycycles designed to ride on abandoned railroad tracks.

This makes for an easy and enjoyable experience as you travel about the beautiful Costa Rican countryside. The tour takes up to 6 people and you will be accompanied by a professional tour guide.

This is an excellent way to visit the small communities and out of the way spots that most tourists do not get to experience.
