Ecotourism, dos

Though ecotourism can be done across the entire world, here in Costa Rica the options are endless. The list of different activities we have participated in are numerous:
  • Snorkeling
  • Horseback riding
  • Night hikes
  • Guided tours of the rainforest
  • Visits to cloud forests
  • Coffee tours
  • Banana tours
  • Hydroelectric water plan tour
  • Hikes in various parts of the country
  • Visits to waterfalls
  • Volcanos
  • Natural hot springs
  • Whitewater rafting
  • Visits to the Pacific and Carribian coasts
  • Zipline canopy tour...

The list goes on and on. With all the national parks set aside and the various climate zones to visit the opportunities in Costa Rica are endless. Its hard to believe that a country the size of West Virginia has so much adventure and opportunity to offer, and all while enjoying nature and hopefully learning something about the environment in the process. When I think about how much ecotourism we have done in such a short amount of time in Costa Rica it seems incredible that we have had so many opportunities.
