On an adventure

The national park is packed with wildlife and offers multiple possibilities for adventure. Bird watching and long hikes are the park’s most popular activities. Walk over the solidified lava and take a look at the mighty volcano from El Mirador. Spot the toucan and other wildlife while you walk over endless jungle paths and suspension bridges.

Wild water rafting, ziplining, canyoning, long hikes, mountain biking and horseback riding are only a few examples of the activities you can participate in to discover Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a perfect country to visit with a rental car. The distances are not that long, which means you will not be in the car for long. The routes mostly cross natural parks and that makes them breathtakingly beautiful. It gives a sense of freedom and you can make a stop at these beautiful places to discover the surroundings even better.

The Lapa Rios Ecolodge is located in a private reserve in the surroundings of Corcovado National Park in the south of the country. The reserve offers many paths along which you can admire the beautiful nature. Thousands of tree and plant species, birds, insects and mammals in Central America’s largest remaining tropical lowland forest.

You can also participate in many water activities because of the amount of beaches in Costa Rica. One of these activities is surfing. Whether you are an experienced surfer or are just willing to give it a try, anything is possible.

Of course, it is also possible to snorkel in the blue waters. In our opinion, the south of Costa Rica is the best place to do this. You will find a small island by the name of Isla del Caño here, where you can snorkel and spot special fish.

You will be brought to the lodge in a spectacular way; rafting across the Pacuare river. Upon arrival, you will be brought to your luxury room and you can participate in activities such as kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, abseiling, bird watching, hiking or visiting the indigenous Cabécar community during your stay. In short, something is possible for everyone! Petra visited this wonderful place and wrote about it in our blog.
