Things to Do in Costa Rica

V!VA User‘s Description

What is there NOT to do in Costa Rica?  The “rich coast’s” international reputation as one of the best countries to explore in Latin America comes from its bounty of natural resources; mile upon mile of pristine beaches facing both the Atlantic and Pacific, lush rainforests, wild rivers and even wilder animals ranging from jaguars to the most elusive butterflies. Costa Rica offers a limitless array of adventure and volunteer options, not to mention panoply urban adventures in its pleasant coastal cities.
