Located in southern Central America, Costa Rica is
surrounded by three different bodies of water including the Panama Canal
on the southeast, the Pacific Ocean on the southwest and west and the
Caribbean Ocean on the east. Because of Costa Rica's close proximity to
several bodies of water, the country is an ideal stopping point for
various cruise ships carrying throngs of adventurous vacationers.
Depending on the area of Costa Rica you are in, the climate can differ
dramatically. There are cool wet mountain ranges, rain forests, dry
tropical forests, cloud forests, the very dry Pacific coast and the damp
Caribbean coast. Because of Costa Rica's diverse climate, the country
is home to 850 species of birds, 205 species of mammals, 9,000 species
of flowering plants, 1,200 species of orchids and 376 species of
reptiles and amphibians. For a country that only measures 51,060 square
kilometers, this is a wide variety of natural wildlife. Costa Rica
strives to maintain the land's natural beauty and wildlife by
designating one sixth of the country to national parks and wildlife
refuges. Costa Rica is also home to several active volcanoes. Arenal
erupts daily every fifteen minutes or so. The locals welcome foreigners
with open arms making Costa Rica one of the most desirable vacation and
retirement spots in the world. It is for these and other reasons that a
Costa Rica vacation cruise should be booked today. The memories will
last a lifetime.
An Abundance of Outdoor Recreation: Costa Rica is big on
water related activities. Wave riders travel from all over the world to
test out their expertise in Costa Rica's waters. Both the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts offer up some notorious surfing. On the Atlantic Coast,
Puerto Viejo's Salsa Brava gets some great breaks during the winter
months although this area is often crowded. On the Pacific side, Playa
Hermosa is the most consistent place to catch some waves. If these areas
are flat, no need to worry, snorkeling and kayaking are always an
option. Wind surfers have nothing but praise for Lake Arenal. It is
considered one of the world's best wind surfing spots and on good days
you can cruise over 25 miles across the lake. There might not be
anything more romantic when you're on vacation with the one you love
than enjoying a horseback ride. Whether its on the beach or through a
National Park, the experience is sure to be memorable. Other popular
outdoor activities to be enjoyed while in Costa Rica include hiking,
mountain biking, deep sea fishing, bungee jumping, sailing, bird
watching and ballooning. More adventurous activities include repelling
down through the center of waterfalls, canopy tours through the tropical
trees and white water rafting.
A Mecca for Nature Lovers: Nature lovers should take
advantage of Costa Rica's numerous National Parks and refuges. Crocovado
is both a rain forest and black sand beach. The Tabacon Hot Springs is
nature's equivalent to the Jacuzzi. Unwind near cascading waterfalls in
the various pools and hot springs. A trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest
will almost guarantee a sighting of Costa Rica's most famous bird, the
Quetzal. The Rain Forest Aerial Tram is located out of San Jose, the
country's capital, and offers a guided canopy tour of the rain forest.
Manuel Antonio Park is teeming with monkeys and other wildlife. The
Tortuguera is Costa Rica's most famous protected nesting area. If you
are not a fan of outdoor activities, don't worry, there is plenty else
to do and see. The National Museum traces Costa Rica's colorful history
and culture. The museum was founded in 1887 and is located in San Jose.
Patrons of the arts should try and catch one of the numerous performance
put on at the National Theater. The National Theater offers classical
music and opera performances in addition to others. Sarchi is located
outside of San Jose and is a great place to visit and admire the
country's handicraft.
