Costa Rica Lake Arenal - Other Activities
Biking, hiking .. or just relax |
|
On
those days when you want to take a break - 'cause the wind might
not - there's plenty of other things to do. Want to travel a little
more slowly? Take a horseback tour with a local guide up into
the rain forest to see monkeys, toucans and on rare occasions
even people!! Rent a car and go to the hot springs at the foot
of Arenal volcano, really relaxing after a day of sailing. Other
possibilities include trips to the Pacific coast, rafting on the
Corobici River or visits to the local "fiestas" in the
nearby towns and villages that are a feature of the dry season
and not to be missed.
