The variety of recreational and cultural activities available in Costa Rica is unlimited. From sailing, beachcombing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, water skiing, parasailing, fishing, and surfing at the beach to hiking and bird watching in the rainforests - the possibilities are infinite. If adventure is what you seek, you will find it here. You can raft down class III and IV white water rapids, swing through the trees with monkeys on a canopy tour, bungee jump over a raging river, experience world-class wind surfing on Lake Arenal or catch a spectacular volcanic firework display. Horseback tours to local waterfalls and hidden beaches are abundant throughout the country as well. Or if more relaxing is your style, spend a day golfing at any of the number of championship golf courses, pamper yourself at a local spa or just enjoy a dip in some of the volcanic hot springs. If you're looking for a taste of the cultural experience, you can enjoy a theater show, visit historical sights and museums, catch a movie, or sample the wide variety of cuisines found in and around the capital, San José. For those who live outside the metropolitan area, climb in your car, hop on a bus, or catch a flight on SANSA or Travelair into the big city for a couple of days.
