> ACTIVITIES

Rafting:
Rafting on Costa Rica's wild and scenic rivers is perhaps the single most popular adventure sport in the country. Expert outfitters and river guides, using internationally approved equipment, take thousands of beginners down the thrilling Class III waters of the Reventazon River, every year,, The more challenging Class IV Pacuare and the tricky Class V Pascua attract more experienced rafters. Swollen by Green Season rains, rafting rivers are even better from May to November, Overnight trips are available.

Windsurfing:
World champions have called Costa Rica's Lake Arenal, at 1,350-1,800 ft. (450-600 m.) above sea level, one of the globe's top five wind surfing spots. Winds from December to April blow steadily, carrying you along Arenal's 29 miles (42 km.) surface, without changing either masts or sails. Just a couple of hours away are Puerto Soley, on the northern Pacific coast, for ocean windsurfing.

Surfing:
Surfers love Costa Rica! From anywhere in the country, the warm surf is only a few hours away. There are river mouths breaks, beach breaks, reef and, the experts say, one of the longest left hand curls in the world. Almost constant, manageable wave action means no long waits to hop on your board. There are lodges catering to suffers, 4-wheel-drive vehicles to access the most remote beaches - even charter airplanes to accommodate your board.

Trekking:
Costa Rica's National Parks are ideal for trekking, although you definitely need a guide if you plan to venture away from well-marked trails. It's all too easy to get lost in the rainforest rest, where everything looks the same. Overnight treks can be arranged through local outfitters and a climb up Mount Chirripo is highly recommended for those in good physical condition.

Sport Fishing:
Costa Rica's rich marine life also means excellent sport fishing. Along the Pacific Coast, from the Gulf of Papagayo all the way to Golfito, anglers find some of the best blue water and inshore fishing in the world. Annual catch and release billfish tournaments raise record numbers of sail If fish and marlin. Roosterfish, Mahi-mahi, Yellow-fin Tuna, Grouper and Wahoo are among the other common game fish. The Tortuguero Canals and the area around Barra del Colorado, both on Costa Rica's northeast coast, have long been famous for fishing tarpon and snook. Lake Arenal is the place to take a boat out on quiet waters and hook the local "rainbow bass". There's also great trout fishing in Costa Rica's mountain streams.

Scuba Diving:
The northwest Pacific Coast offers scuba diving in a magnificent setting throughout the year, with more than 20 local dive sites, many in the Gulf of Papagayo. Huge schools of fish are the norm and Jacks, Moray Eels, White-tipped Sharks, Eagle Rays and Pufferfish are commonly observed. There are rock formations to be explored and visibility in these warm waters ranges from 20 to 80 ft. (6 to 24 m.).

Horseback Riding:
Horseback riding in Costa Rica can take you along beaches, at the edge of country roads, through pastures and along forest trails.
Riding is great fun - once you get used to the different saddle, stirrups and neck-rein steering. Although not strictly necessary, a little equestrian experience will stand you in good stead since ranch horses are usually rounded up for trail duty.

Biking:
With its mountainous terrain and thousands of miles of highways, byways and forest trails, Costa Rica is the ideal spot for mountain biking. You just need the right equipment, and you are ready for the mountain biking of your life. Many hotels and some local travel agencies offer organized tours and renting the bike and good equipment.
