"Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures, Kill nothing but time" -Arenal Observatory Lodge
1.) Arenal Volcano: As you travel through Costa Rica make sure to stay at the
Arenal Observatory Lodge and wake up to this amazing view outside your room! If you're as fortunate as I was you may even see the volcano spouting out some bright red lava at night.
2.) Zip-Line Tour: Take the
Sky Trek with 11 cables. The longest line running over a mile long and over 600 feet above ground. Check out this video for a taste of the adventure ahead
3.) Waterfall Rappelling: Enjoy a great travel experience with
Pure Trek Canyoning as you rappel down four waterfalls, one almost 200 feet high! If you don't believe me check out the video!
4.) Fortuna Waterfall: Hike down a strenuous 1/4 mile to one of the most beautiful falls in Costa Rica towering 200 feet. Don't forget your suit because no waterfall adventure is complete with out a dip under the falls!
5.) Rio Celeste: This is best kept secret of Costa Rica! Legend says that after painting the sky, God washed his paintbrushes in the
Rio Celeste. As you hike the trails through the rain-forest make sure to stop and take a dip in the natural hot springs and view the "Blue Lagoon". As you continue on you'll reach the Rio Celeste Waterfall unique with it's turquoise water which is the result of chemical reactions of volcanic minerals. A sight you'll never forget! Make sure to take a
guide, for this 3 hour hike can be pretty intense, directions aren't clear and large animals are lurking about.

One of my best friends is from Costa Rica. She came to the United States about six years ago as an international student. She talks about the overwhelming crime and poverty in the cities more than the amazing waterfalls and endless views. Thank you for posting these pictures to remind me of the parts of Costa Rica that are beautiful.
