Where to Stay

When it comes to choosing somewhere to stay in Costa Rica, you really will be spoilt for choice.

All of the activities that you can do are not all situated in the same place and so if you do want to experience more than one thing you may need to consider staying in different hotels.

The price of the package will obviously vary depending upon the activity you want to do, how long you want to do it for and which hotel you choose to say at. However, you should expect to pay anything from $1,000-$3,000 for a week at most hotels. The advantage of taking up an adventure package is that everything is sorted out and arranged for you.

Things to Do

Whilst some of the activities that you can do may not sound particularly exciting, when you really look into them you will find that there is more to them than meets the eye.
