Things To Do In Costa Rica

Zipline through the clouds in Santa Elena

You can go ziplining anywhere in the country, and many unique spots have picturesque views. But ziplining in Santa Elena is in a different league. Swooping past the canopies of the rainforest trees with clouds swirling around you is an experience that will forever change you!

Spot the cutest nesting sea turtles

Female sea turtles come to the beach every few years to lay eggs, which they bury in warm soil for incubation. Visitors to Tortuguero National Park or Playa Grande can witness baby turtles hatching out of the eggs and waddling to the sea.

Go on a wildlife safari in Corcovado National Park

If you love observing wildlife animals in their natural habitat going about their days and feeding their babies, there is no better place than the tropical rainforests in Parque Nacional Corcovado. Visit tapirs, crocodiles and tiny squirrel monkeys. A wildlife safari is one of the top things to do in Costa Rica; you’ll thank us later.
