14 THINGS TO DO IN COSTA RICA

Is Costa Rica in your bucket list or scratch map? If yes, let me help with you with these popular recommendations of things to do while in Costa Rica.

One of the most visited Latin American countries, Costa Rica offers a variety of travel-worthy and Instagram-worthy scenery. Consisting over 5% of earth’s biodiversity, Costa Rica or “the rich coast” is a small country that will make you fall in love with its astounding jungles, beaches, waterfalls, volcanoes and last but certainly not least, the locals.

HIKE THE WILDLIFE

Placed on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the most famous places you can go to in Costa Rica. One of the things you cannot miss is to traverse the abundantly blessed rainforest.

The trail that links to beaches is 1.3 miles marching in sandy and beginner-friendly trails. I recommend to do the tour first thing in the morning and very early if possible to avoid large crowds. Touring with a naturalist guide is also suggested as these guides have the expert eyes and ears to detect animals that live in the rainforest.

One of the interesting wildlife creatures that might greet you on your trail is the Central American Squirrel Monkey. This species can only be found in Costa Rica and Panama. A chance to encounter this monkey can be a living treasure as it is only found in Central American rainforests. Just make sure that you hold on to your food because monkeys have the tendency to snatch it and make sure to not give in to the temptation to feed them.



VIEW FROM THE BOAT

On the opposite side of Costa Rica is the Caribbean Sea where you may find the Tortuguero National Park. Also rich with wildlife in its rainforests, Tortuguero has this novel way of exploration which is through a riverboat ride. You may also opt to kayak or use the canoe to see the rainforest’s beauty giving you that Amazon river vibe.

A sight surely worth seeing is the mass turtle nestings in Tortuguero. The spot is home to some species of turtles including the largest living sea turtle Leatherback. Generally, the baby turtles can be seen heading back to the sea after they are hatched from the months of March to October.
