			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Costa Rica is well known throughout North America for being a very popular vacation destination. Although it is notorious for its beauty, it is also recognized for its unlimited number of fun and exciting activities. If you are considering visiting Costa Rica, you may want to do some research and learn what the best option is for you. Beaches, cruises, swamp treks, 4x4ing, snorkelling and horseback riding are just a few of the many sights and activities this paradise has to offer.</p>
<p>Since the natural beauty of Costa Rica is what attracts many tourists, many people choose to focus on the nature and take in as much of it as possible. If you are interested in doing the same, you may want to consider making reservations for a guided tour, especially if this is your first time in the country. You may tour the Poas Volcano, Manuel Antonio National Park, Monteverde National Reserve, or Costa Rica&#8217;s most active volcano, Arenal. There are hundreds of tours and sights to see, unless your visit is for an extended period of time, you will not be able to see everything on your first visit here.</p>
<p>If you are truly interested in having your travel adventure be adventurous, look into some exciting adventure activities. A fun and unforgettable experience may consist of white water rafting, zip-lining, horseback riding on the beach, bungee jumping, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling, surfing, ATV-ing, or even learning to Scuba dive! The choices are endless, and if you do not want to book everything separately, you can easily find a Costa Rican Adventure Package with all of your favourite activities included.</p>
<p>Another activity that you may enjoy while on a Costa Rica travel adventure is a cruise. Cruises are a great way to enjoy a fun and relaxed environment with no stress. Most will take you not only to Costa Rica, but to Nicaragua and Panama as well. Cruises are breathtaking, and they will take you along the white sand beaches, as well as through the tropical rainforests. You never know what beautiful wildlife species you will find on a Costa Rica cruise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Located in the southernmost Central America, Costa Rica is surrounded by three different surface waters including Panama Canal On south-east, the Pacific Ocean on the south-west and in the west and the ocean of the Caribbean on the east. Costa Rica is geographically a small country, but despite this, nobody can deny that it has an endless number of attractions and places to see. It has over 50 beaches and more than 160 parks, reserves and conservation areas and several of the most active volcanoes in the world Site seeing is a never ending pleasure in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has plenty of activities to keep each visitor active. </p>
<p>Lets take for example the highlight of Costa Rica&#8217;s southern Pacific coast, the Manuel Antonio Park. The park is a small but popular place because of its white sandy beaches and dense rain forest. Sunbathers flock to the beaches throughout the week. This stretch of coastline between the Nicoya and Osa peninsulas has several other low-key beach towns, including Playa del Jaco. Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse places in the world. In regard to this, more than a quarter of Costa Rica is under protection that includes some conservation areas and forest reserves. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, on the other hand, requires an arduous uphill drive on unpaved roads. Upon reaching it, the trek is worth the hike through the cloud forest. There are a lot of flora and fauna that thrive in the environment. </p>
<p>The quetzal, an iridescent green bird with an extravagant long tail, is the most popular spot in the Forest. Many one of a kind species can be seen. It includes the rain frog and other colourful amphibians. You can also lure the dangerous tarantulas out of their lairs should you choose to. In San Jose and the Central Valley, there are a lot of activities that it sure to keep every tourist on the go. One of its many interesting attractions is the Museo del Oro Precolombino, which exhibits gold dating back to 500 A.D. The Museo del Jade, with its impressive, ornate jade collection. The distant surrounding has many rainforest between villages. People can explore the rain forest by boat through a system of canals that bring each one close to spider monkeys and three-toed sloths. </p>
<p>Lake Arenal is one of the country&#8217;s largest bodies of water, it is a relatively undiscovered region. People can easily find last minute accommodation to rent, even during high seasons. The activities can range from horseback riding to windsurfing. The most popular attraction is the Volcan Arenal. Many tourists spend the night here just to catch a glimpse of the country&#8217;s most active volcano. They watch the lava flow down the volcano&#8217;s western side. This experience is truly awesome and completely unforgettable. </p>
