From the Costa Rica World / Stories

Wildlife, Forests and Outdoor Activities

Costa Rica’s forests, coasts and rivers support different kinds of outdoor days. Birdwatching rewards patient observation, while beaches, volcanoes and rafting call for different conditions and pacing.

Why go

Use the landscape to choose an activity rather than expecting one stop to cover everything. Forest walks can focus on monkeys, sloths and birds; coastal time brings shorebirds and beaches. The Naranjo River near Quepos is a separate rafting choice for experienced visitors seeking a more demanding river outing.

Useful to know

  • Pick a forest or coastal birdwatching setting according to the species and habitat you hope to see.
  • Treat a Naranjo River rafting trip as a separate activity; check current conditions and operator requirements before booking.
