COSTA RICA TOURISM
VOL. 3 EVEN MORE THINGS TO DO
For a tiny country, Costa Rica tourism offers lots of things to do.
I listed some of them on Vol. 1 "Things to Do" and others on Vol. 2 "More Things to Do" (you'll find these on the Navigation Buttons to the left) but there are simply too many for those sections so here is "Even More to Do."
Windsurfing at Lake Arenal
Try windsurfing at Lake Arenal, one of the greatest places on earth to do so. Great winds, averaging 25 mph from December through April, swells up to 5 feet, always warm air and water temperatures, and a lake that's 24 miles long----all in the shadow of magnificent Arenal Volcano, one of Costa Rica's Seven Wonders.Boards are available for rental.

Costa Rica Bullfighting
When you think of a Costa Rica vacation, beaches, great weather, and magnificent scenery come to mind but bullfighting?It's true. But it's not exactly the kind of bullfighting that Ernest Hemingway had in mind when he wrote "Death in the Afternoon." Nope. Here the bulls are never hurt. It's bullfighting Pura Vida style. You can watch or become a matador (no experience necessary). Unique Costa Rica tourism. No bull. For a novel experience( sorry for the pun, I'm still thinking Hemingway) try

Sea Turtles
Here's a fact from sea turtle experts. Only female sea turtles come on shore because they need to nest. Adult males NEVER return to the beach.Hmmm. Looks like a couple of sea turtles didn't get the memo. . . . But, after all, this is Costa Rica and even sea turtles are entitled to a little Pura Vida! If you travel Costa Rica during nesting season, make it a point to experience something truly extraordinary. Costa Rica tourism is, literally, helping to preserve

Costa Rica Medical Tourism

Why is this pretty lady smiling?Is it because of her Costa Rica vacation? Yep. Is it because she looks so good now? Certainly. Is it because her Costa Rica cosmetic surgery cost her about 30% of what she'd have paid in the U.S.? Absolutely. She saved so much money, it paid for her Costa Rica vacation---and her husband's, too! He's also smiling.
