What’s HOT in Costa Rica Travel – 2010 – Part 1

Sept. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- What’s been hot this year in Costa Rica?  As a travel planner here I wanted to take a moment to share with you my list of “What’s Hot” in travel these days.

It’s been a great year for some new tours, including the adventure sport of Canyoneering. Canyoneering is a sport that’s become popular all over the world. It has now found its way to Costa Rica. Imagine rappelling down a series of breathtaking waterfalls in the rain forest, some plunging over 150 feet into crystal pools! This unique, multi-sport adventure combines rappelling, down-climbing and river tracing for an adventure of a lifetime! Combine this tour with some White Water Rafting and you have a day you will never forget.

Costa Rica has long been known as a surfing destination, great breaks and consistent surf is what comes to mind, but some might overlook the amazing Kite Surfing and Wind Surfing that can be found here.

We go to the La Fortuna area, home to the mighty Arenal Volcano and the largest lake in the country of the same name. Arenal has the distinction of being one of the top 20 most active volcanoes in the world, and Lake Arenal is also considered some of the best Windsurfing in the world, it’s a powerful combination. Windsurfing is a blast but it’s Kite Surfing that has everyone talking this year and where there is wind and water you have great Kite Surfing. Cruising along on your board, catching incredible air with the Volcano as your backdrop, few experiences can match it.

I hope you have enjoyed my first installment of What’s Hot in Costa Rica 2010. I will be back with more exciting travel news and tour favorites soon as well what to watch out for in 2011
