Costa Rica Vacations
Vacation Ideas

Costa Rica Vacations #1:By Trey from Alabama - My favorite place to vacation is Costa Rica. The locals welcome you with open arms. The sun blares down on you giving you some vitamin D, along with a nice tan. The main reason I chose this location as my favorite vacation spot is because of the deep-sea fishing. On our day trip we caught a couple of blue marlins, several sail fish, mahi mahi, etc. Dolphins swam alongside our boat half of the trip.

The ocean was clear and unharmed. The beaches, while dark black, were natural and secluded. The waves were tremendous, as it is the best surfing spot in the world. The condo we stayed at provided the best service along with great room service. As I don’t like to exercise on vacation, there was nothing like hiking in the rain forest. We had a blast and if we could choose a vacation spot to visit again Costa Rica is at the top of our list.

Vacation Ideas in Costa Rica #2:Take a Coffee Plantation tour. Near the Poas Volcano is the world famous Doka estates coffee plantation. Sample the award winning coffee and see how Costa Ricans have grown and picked the coffee beans for over 200 years. It's a great way to taste the local culture as well as the coffee.

Costa Rica Vacations #3:How about Bungee Jumping? This growing sport is popular with the locals as well as visitors. The Colorado River Bridge in Costa Rica is one of the highest bungee bridges in the world and the tropical environment makes a unique setting to experience this thrill.

Vacation Ideas in Costa Rica #4: Scuba Diving is spectacular in Costa Rica. Particularly around Catalina Island where the diving is pristine. The bridges, caverns, and coral are home to giant Manta Rays, Stingrays, Barracuda, White-tip and Bull sharks, Moray eels, Sea turtles and occasionally huge migratory schools of various species of rays.

Vacation Ideas in Costa Rica #5: Take a Rural Tour and experience the life of traditional Costa Rican artisans. Make a traditional clay pot or mask. Bake Costa Rican home style bread. Weave a basket. Make your own organic shampoo. The whole family can partake in this. Real Places, Real People can hook you up with this tour.

Vacation Ideas in Costa Rica #6: Costa Rica's National Parks are world-renown for their conservation of rainforest life. This includes the Carara Biological Reserve and Manuel Antonio National Park. These are fantastic locations for walking and hiking and taking in all the natural beauty of the country.

Costa Rica Vacations #7: A favorite vacation spot in Costa Rica is the Nicoya Peninsula, just a forty minute plane ride from San Jose. Here you can visit the tiny villages and towns of Guanacaste Province and get a close look at Costa Rican rural life and culture. Hotel Punta Islita is a secluded resort that you can use as a base for your vacation activities. Does the idea of a breathtaking glide through the forest canopy and over a canyon get you excited? Hotel Punta Islita can set you up with a Canopy Zip Lining adventure.

Maybe horseback riding on the black sand beaches and down forest trails is more your style. Hotel Punta Islita arrange this too as well as exhilarating mountain trail ATV trek. Nicoya Peninsula beaches are a nesting and hatching location for sea turtles. Night time tours, arranged by Hotel Punta Islita, are an eco-friendly way to witness these gentle creatures in their natural habitat.

Costa Rica Vacations #8: Take a Canopy Tour of the spectacular Costa Rica jungle forests. Using an intricate and sturdy network of suspended bridges, platforms, and pathways you get above the canopy for a breathtaking bird’s eye view. There are quite a few companies that offer canopy tours in Cost Rica so it shouldn't be too difficult to find one that fits into you vacation. This is quite a unique and fun way to observe the tropical vegetation and wildlife.
