AAA Traveler - Summer 2014 - 16
ways
Spider monkey
to Play in
Costa Rica
These fun activities
top the lists of visitors
to Costa Rica.
Ziplining
By far one of the biggest
attractions in the area, ziplines
can be found in rainforests all
over Costa Rica. Travelers
move from one platform to
another, crisscrossing the
forest, suspended as high as
650 feet off the ground.
Snorkeling
The crystal clear waters off of
Costa Rica's shores provide a
perfect underwater playground. The reef at Cahuita
National Park is home to more
than 120 species of fish and
more than 40 crustaceans.
Surfing
The waters are perfect for
novice and skilled surfers alike.
Bathing in hot springs
At many of the country's hot
springs, you can coat yourself
in mineral-rich volcanic mud
to cleanse your pores.
On this vacation, families spend time ziplining, walking across bridges
suspended in the treetops and soaking in natural hot springs. During a float
trip on the Peñas Blancas River, a wildlife expert shows visitors the astonishing variety of animals found in the rainforest. The 850 species of birds
that make their home there include emerald-green parrots, scarlet macaws
and toucans. One of the trip's highlights is Arenal Volcano, where guests
get a bird's-eye view from a sky tram or a zipline. At the Tilajari Resort
Hotel, visit a butterfly garden and take a Spanish lesson from a local
teacher. Plus, a tour in San José gives children the chance to sample
chocolate and learn how it's made in Central America.
Costa Rica is home to 5 percent of the world's known biodiversity and
28 national parks. So it's no surprise that this area is nirvana for nature
lovers. Alexander + Roberts' (formerly General Tours) "Treasures of Nature
in Costa Rica" vacation is led by a Costa Rican naturalist who immerses
guests in his country's biodiversity. Visitors take a boat to the canals of
Tortuguero, an exotic wetland full of wildlife-rich vegetation, then walk
rainforest trails. In Monteverde, they head to a garden with over 425
varieties of orchids and explore in the cooler temperatures of a cloud forest.
Travelers experience cultural encounters as they tour a coffee and sugar
plantation. The itinerary also includes a family-owned organic farm, where
you'll pick vegetables and herbs alongside the owners to learn about
cultivation. After a cooking class, everyone sits down to a dinner that
includes vegetables from the garden. To wind down at night, relax in
mineral pools and waterfalls at the luxurious Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa.
Call your AAA Travel Specialist and start planning your adventure in the heart of Central America.
