Adventure holidays in Costa Rica
Costa Rica has a land area equivalent to only 0.01% of the planet, but has five per cent of the world’s species of flora and fauna; issue is likely to remain so as more than a quarter of its territory is protected as nature reserve. Costa Rica has 120 volcanic formations, El Arenal, a volcano of seven thousand years old, is the most active: it erupts every 10 to 15 minutes. So watch this landscape is a privilege.
An ideal place to enjoy the view of the volcanoes is one of the natural springs of Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort, located in the middle of a rainforest reserve and, of course, heats all their water with volcanic energy. Another advantage of this hotel is that it is far from noise and villages, though it can offer guided tours for all tastes and most of the tours go to the hotel to fetch and return you.
If you want to see El Arenal closely, you can do a walk around it completely, but if your mind is more adventurous, you can choose the Tyrolean, tied with a harness and helmet you can practice rappelling protected by a ridge and through more beautiful waterfalls in the jungle. Of course you just wet, but do not worry because the temperatures are always warm. The weather is good all year and is best between February and August, resulting in larger rivers and more animal life.
An adrenaline-charged experience is more of a cable car up through the treetops to a height of just over 200
meters above ground level. There you to a harness and ropes hanging from a wire-speed travel for three miles, at an altitude that ranges from 31 meters away from the soil to a dizzying 800 meters.
