We have enjoyed day trips around Costa Rica. And, if you leave yourself time to manouver the roads, and have a sense of adventure there is lots to see, literally "off the beaten track".
On the cruise of the Tempisque River we saw everything from crocodiles to white faced monkeys! It was a fabulous trip. The tour starts at a hacienda, and you can enjoy a delicious lunch with the ranch's workers afterwards. However, it is a very difficult place to find, but do-able!
We also discovered the Cortez Waterfalls. They are a bit allusive but well worth the hunt for them plus the walk down to them. :) There is a "beach" to lay on, and enjoy the coolness of the falls. You were able to buy a coconut to drink, to support the local elementary school. Surprisingly, our picky eater, was the one who loved it the most!
Africa Mia, is a wild life reserve just outside of Liberia. It is a favorite place to visit for us, as we have been there on both trips. A lot of the animals are from Africa as it is quite "desert like" in this area of Costa Rica. The thrill is feeding the giraffes and zebras!
