There is no better way to explore the Costa Rican rainforests, surf along its Pacific coastline, and climb its amazing active volcanoes than with a Costa Rica adventure tour. Costa Rica is one of the top destinations for North American tourists looking for some adventure vacations.
The Guanacaste Province offers the most diverse activities for you to experience the country’s geography and landscapes to the fullest. This incredible province is located in the northwest of the country and is the most sparsely populated in Costa Rica.
The province is bounded on the east by a group of green-swathed volcanoes forming the Cordillera de Guanacaste and the Cordillera de Tilarán. The rivers that tumble out of these steep mountains flow down to rolling flatlands. They then form a vast alluvial plain drained by the Rio Tempisque, which empties through swampy wetlands into de Golfo de Nicoya.
Such an impressive landscape will give you the opportunity for the most amazing Costa Rica adventure tour you could experience. You will have the opportunity to surf, rock climb, and practice whitewater rafting, among others.
