Depending on where you are traveling you can find many different outdoor activities such as rafting and birding. Costa Rica is known for the many different types of birds that live there.

Rafting, which can be a more extreme outdoor sport, is also a lot of fun to explore the beauty of the thick rain forest of Costa Rica. Other outdoor activities include fishing and surfing.
While surfing is fun for some, one outdoor activity that shouldn’t be missed by anyone going to Costa Rica is going to the beach. Depending on the beach, you will see blue water, beautiful waves, and white sand. This is one of the most breathtaking sights at sunrise or sunset. Depending on the person you can find a beach right for you although, I would certainly suggest the main beach. This beach, Corcovado, has beautiful white sand with rain forest around it. If your Costa Rica vacations include children, they will find some great raft rides that zip them around the water while most walk along the various small shops that offer cold drinks and tourist souvenirs.
Whether your travels include big cities or not, a few tips you should be remembered when visiting Costa Rica. First, although you can drink the water, bottled water is cheap and is safer than tap in some places of the country. Other things to keep in mind are watch out where you eat specially in rural areas, try to go for the well respected restaurants. You should plan where to eat even before arriving to Costa Rica. Renting a car can be a great option only if you are traveling outside the capital San Jose. These are most things you need to watch for when visiting.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country and a must see for anyone who enjoys the outdoors and loves the wildlife that lives there. No matter if you are going to visit San Jose or to go hiking in the rural areas it’s a beautiful country to see.
