‘Costa’

I will be traveling alone to Costa Rica this June and will be there for a week. I’m 27 years old and I’m pretty active. Some of the activities in Costa Rica that I’m interested in doing include mountain biking, white water rafting and zip lining through the rain forest. Basically I’m wondering whether it is better to book these activities separately or as part of a multi-day tour package. I’ve noticed that some of the all-inclusive tours tend to cater towards older adults who might be less inclined to seek adventure. I actually want to experience the culture and I really have no interest in being pampered or “nickled and dimed” at some fancy resort. Is it better to have all these tours booked ahead of time or should I play it be ear and book upon arrival? Any tips or advice is appreciated. Also, if anyone has any adventure tour suggestions that involve camping, biking, etc that might be up my alley let me know. Thanks.

I would like to take a backpacking tour through Costa Rica. I am interested in seeing the wild life and adventure, however, I don’t want to go anywhere rural as I am traveling alone. (I am going for 14 days)

From the researched I’ve done I am considering going to the following places:
Monteverde
Arenal
Manuel Antonia
Tortugero

And I am flying into San Jose.

Do you have any suggestion on other places to visit, or think that the places I have considered not a good choice?

Thank you for your suggestions.

I am looking at traveling to Guanacaste Costa Rica and want to know about previous experinces with Avispa’s Adventures. What was your best tour with them and how can we contact them?

I am planning to take my Mom for a nice vacation (kinda Mother/daughter thing). The timeframe is July 1-18th. I am currently thinking between Cancun or Costa Rica. We are not the type of people who would be happy just spending this whole time at one resort, wetbars and spas. Ideally I’d love to combine a few days on the beach/snorkeling etc with some adventure tours – see Mayan ruins, or going on nature tours. Since I am travelling with Mom, adventure has to be safe Neither of us has ever being to Mexico or Costa Rica, so any advice will be useful. The biggest concern is rainy season/hurricane season, and also what to do. In Cancun -with day trips to Mayan ruins, horse riding, cenotes, etc – is there enought to do for 18 days? Is it better to stay in all inclusive hotel? In Costa Rica – how rainy is it and what is the general advice you’d give? Thanks in advance

I have an adventure tour company in Costa Rica and need to promote it and draw clients from other countries. My website is www.costaricasafaris.com
What is the best way to promote this business and tap into the tourist market and to reach this market niche for adventure travel? That is my question. Anyone with answers? Thanks.
