Bucket-list adventures in Arenal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Costa<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mother nature was showing off when she created Costa Rica<\/a>. Sweeping bright green scenery, lush rainforests and national parks make it a playground for the whole family. Say yes to zip-lining through cloud forest at Arenal Nature National Park, or tightening up your hiking boots to trek around the Arenal volcano. Take the opportunity to walk along Arenal Hanging Bridges to get close to monkeys, sloths and chattering birds living in the high trees. If the water is more your style, you can kayak or snorkel in the dazzling Arenal Lake \u2013 the largest lake in Costa Rica at 85 square km. Welcome to paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"white-faced<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica covers just 0.03 percent of the world\u2019s surface, but contains 6 percent of the world’s biodiversity. Half a million species live here and over \u00bc of Costa Rica is protected areas. The result? You can spot a staggering range of wildlife here. Hop on our Monkey Jungles and Volcanoes<\/a> family tour for the chance to spot six species of sea turtles, monkeys (howler, agile and white-faced types), caimans, exotic birds, endangered ocelots, sea otters, manatees, sloths, green iguanas, crocodiles, toucans, frogs, ant eaters and snakes. Caught your breathe yet? The animals here will take yours away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blissful downtime in nature\u2019s paradise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Pacific<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica will take your breath away, but it’ll also half your heart rate. Why not cruise through the canals of Tortuguero National Park, taking in beautiful wildlife on route? Or slide yourself into a hot thermal spring and let life’s troubles ooze away. Wake up to the sounds of monkeys stirring. Enjoy an open-air buffet dinner serenaded by the chirping of birds. Float in the crystal clear, warm Pacific waters and feel the sun kiss your face. Turn off that TV and come to Costa Rica \u2013 because the great outdoors is a wonderful resting place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a night-walk (between July and September) to spot turtles nesting and learn about their habits. Discover the science between past volcanic eruptions at Arenal from a local guide. Visit a Tico\u2019s palm plantation where you can taste and hear what\u2019s special about this local food.

The infamous local saying \u201cPura Vida\u201d (Spanish) translates to \u2018pure life\u2019 or \u2018simple life\u2019. And once you enter Costa Rica, you can instantly feel the whole country lives by this philosophy. A natural happiness and relaxed atmosphere runs through local life. They are grateful for what they have and avoid ruminating on the negative. And after some time here \u2013 you may start to feel the same. Perhaps you’ll use \u201cPura Vida\u201d in conversation like locals to mean \u2018hello\u2019, \u2018bye\u2019 or\/and \u2018everything\u2019s great\u2019. Only one way to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
