Travelers can explore the lush rainforests and breathtaking landscapes on an all-terrain vehicle expedition, or saddle up and discover the beauty of the Costa Rican countryside on horseback.
Bold tourists can test their nerve by bungee jumping or exploring the country's vast network of underground caves on a spelunking day trip.
Costa Rica is also one of the best places in the world to go rock-climbing, which could be the perfect way for adventure travelers to spend an afternoon.
Visitors who want to check out Costa Rica from a bird's eye view can soar to new heights on a paragliding adventure or a hot-air balloon ride, and there is no better - or more exciting - way to see the stunning beauty of Costa Rica's national parks than a canopy tour and aerial tram ride.
Learning is fun in Costa Rica
