<p> If you&#8217;re considering where to go on your next vacation, try the world of great tropical adventure called Costa Rica.</p>
<p>A Costa Rica Caribbean vacation lets you explore active volcanoes, see wild animals, see lush rain forests up close, and swim and lounge on great beaches.  Costa Rica is one of the few ultimate paradises that have been left untouched on planet Earth.  There are no military bases or nuclear power plants, and Costa Rica has lots of culture.  In addition, Costa Rica is a tropical climate, so there&#8217;s no winter to contend with.  Costa Rica is a democratic society and is one of the most peaceful in the world.  Its last civil war occurred in 1948.  Since then, it has abolished armed forces and has also avoided despotic dictatorships, military coups, terrorism and any other forms of conflict so common in other parts of the world.</p>
<p>In addition, Costa Rica has a very friendly country.  Costa Rica Caribbean travel provides a friendly, warm welcome no matter what part of the country you wish to visit.</p>
<p>Costa Rica means &#8220;rich coast,&#8221; but Costa Rica has far more to offer than just its coast.  Costa Rica is a country of incredible natural beauty and it contains many species of animals not present in many other parts of the world.  Some of these animals are very rare and can only be seen if you go to Coast Rica.</p>
<p>In addition, plants are very diverse and beautiful as well.  There are well over 10,000 species of vascular plants and many gorgeous flowers.  In addition, almost 2000 tree species have been recorded in this beautiful Latin American country.  Visiting this astonishing country should give you an incredibly exciting Costa Rican Caribbean travel vacation, with such unusual and innumerable flora and fauna to view in its natural habitat.</p>
<p>In addition to land mammals and birds that anybody interested in ecology would love to see, Costa Rica also has approximately 835 species of fish.  700 of these are saltwater fish.  Anglers and fishers should have a wonderful time fishing in Coast Rica&#8217;s clear blue waters, as they challenge themselves to see if they can catch any of these unusual fish species.</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s focus for a minute on the northwest region of Coast Rica, called Guanacaste.  Most Costa Rican Caribbean travelers go there these days because of its ever-changing scenery and the many activities offered.  There are many tours you can take; no matter what your interests, you should find something you like.  With these tours, take an close look at all of its exotic trees, plants, flowers, animals and fish.  For an experience you&#8217;ll never forget, a Coast Rica Caribbean vacation is just the ticket for you.</p>
<p>Whatever your interests, you should find something you like to do on your Coast Rica Caribbean travel.  Some of these will depend on the region of the country you go to.  In the rain forest, bird watching walks with English-speaking guides who are experts in identification themselves should let you see exotic species up close, while horseback riding provides another view of your Costa Rican Caribbean travel vacation</p>
<p>Another option is to take a canopy tour, which is a popular tour in every region of Coast Rica.  However, to best experience Costa Rica&#8217;s precious rain forest, avoid tours that go through areas from the north towards the west.  In these areas, climates are drier so that vegetation is not as lush as it is in other areas.</p>

<p> Would you like to hook a sailfish on a fly, catch and release a marlin, fight a giant tuna, reel in dolphin fish, take a swim with a porpoise, and catch a few snappers to take back for your dinner? The North Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is a World-Class sport fishing paradise. More than 40 world records have been registered within an 80-mile radius. Sailfish, black marlin, blue marlin, striped marlin (sails and marlin are catch and release), yellow fin tuna and Wahoo are found in abundance. Inshore species include large concentrations of roosterfish and snapper. Billfish are the favored target of most visiting anglers. There are many charter boats on the west coast of Costa Rica. They can accommodate an individual, a couple, a family or a group of any size.</p>
<p>  Canopy Tours
<p>Swing like a monkey thru the trees on a zip line canopy tour. Guides are professionals in the area of Canopying and most have years of previous experience. The canopy tour offers any adventurous tourist the opportunity to ascend into the forest canopy and see jungle life from a perspective available previously to only a select few researchers and photographers. This is an Adventure for all ages that should not be missed.</p>
<p><strong>Sailing </strong><br /> Experience a day of sailing and exploring the impressive Costa Rican coast. While sailing you could encounter dolphins, whales, turtles, manta rays and bat rays. Anchored in a bay you can snorkel coral and rock formations, swim, or simply enjoy the secluded beaches. The best way of relaxing on your vacation is to enjoy a beautiful Guanacaste Sunset Cruise. Sit-back and watch the colorful sunset, while sipping a cold beer, rum punch or soft drinks and enjoying the light snacks.</p>
<p><strong>Volcano&#8217;s, Hot Springs, Mud Baths and Waterfalls </strong><br /> Arenal volcano is well known for its exploding lava shows. Shop at the road side gallery&#8217;s and gift shops. Visit the rain forest. Lake Arenal, a beautiful 22-mile long lake is great for freshwater fishing. It&#8217;s home to the hard-hitting rainbow bass, or quapote: five to six pounders are common. Take your swimsuits to bathe in the pools of naturally warm thermal waters amid tropical gardens at Arenal Volcano National Park. For the sports enthusiast you can windsurf one of the premier windsurfing destinations in the world. Due to the area&#8217;s irregular topography the wind is constant, providing excellent windsurfing conditions, especially in the dry season between December and April.</p>
<p><strong>Buena Vista</strong><strong> Hot Springs</strong><br /> Canopy tour, hot springs, horses, water slide, waterfall and mud bath.<br /> The thermal waters, steam bath, and natural spa are located at the foot of Volcano, Rincon de la Vieja. At the hot springs, you will relax unconditionally as you enjoy pleasurable and rejuvenating treatments with volcanic mud and warm spring waters. This &#8220;spoil me&#8221; atmosphere makes it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of modern life. By horseback you can visit three waterfalls. Each one has Natural swimming pools at the bottom of the falls.</p>
<p>  Surfing
<p>The Pacific Northwest Guanacaste Coast of Costa Rica has the most consistent swell activity anywhere in Costa Rica. The waves are perfect for beginners and experts alike, with daily offshore winds creating long rides with easy take offs and hollow barrel sections. Playa Tamarindo has a long beach break and welcomes surfers from around the world. Surfing is only a 25-minute boat ride from El Coco to Witches Rock where the experts surf.</p>
<p><strong>Scuba diving and Snorkeling </strong><br /> Costa Rica&#8217;s North Pacific waters offer divers varied and plentiful marine life. Schools of small fish (often by the thousands), colorful tropical fish, Jacks, Barracudas, Eels, Eagle Rays, white-tip Reef Sharks, Manta Rays and Bull Sharks are commonly spotted. There is an incredible array of marine life of all varieties and colors awaiting you off of the nearby reefs and islands.  For the beginner, check out Playa Hermosa. There you can take classes in the pool, the day before you dive with a certified master diver. Instruction in the pool takes a couple hours and the student will be able to practice all the necessary safety and comfort skills before going out in the ocean for 2 dives. Diving can be great any month of the year. This is primarily due to the abundance of plankton and other marine organisms at the lower end of the food chain that thrive in the warm 75 to 85 degree tropical waters. Average visibility ranges from 30&#8242; to 50&#8242; with possibilities of up to 80&#8242;.</p>
<h2>Golfing</h2>
<p>Imagine a golf vacation at any popular golf destination before the golf traveler discovered them. You will re-discover &#8220;no-hassle&#8221; tee times and the enjoyment of playing unhurried rounds of golf on courses designed by well known golf architects George Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Ted Robinson, Jr., Mike Young and Tracy May. Here you will find all the ingredients for a great golf vacation and the added bonus of experiencing the scenic beauty and natural attractions of Costa Rica.</p>
<h2>White Water Rafting</h2>
<p>Costa Rica offers some of the world&#8217;s finest whitewater rafting and kayaking rivers. These rivers plunge through spectacularly beautiful, largely unexplored tropical wilderness. Whether an expert or beginner, nature lover or thrill seeker, rafting enthusiast or active kayaker, there is an unforgettable experience awaiting you. If you are looking for an action-packed one-day or multi-day trip to complement your vacation, the rivers of this beautiful land are waiting for you. The wild and scenic Costa Rica Rivers offers some of the finest rapids in Latin America. Suitable even for first time rafters, this thrill-ride of churning water and breathtaking scenery will be the highlight of your trip.</p>
<p> Normal 0 false false false EN-PH X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Costa Rica is Central America&#8217;s jewel. It&#8217;s an oasis and an Ecotourism heaven, making it one of the best places to experience the tropics with minimal impact. It&#8217;s also mostly coastline, which means great surfing, activities and beaches galore with a climate built for laziness.  Deep Sea Fishing
