Without doubt, many people often look forward to going on vacation as it offers the perfect opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. One activity that many folks like to do during vacation is adventure travel. This is something that the South American pacific coastline is renowned for, with special mention going to Jaco Costa Rica tours.

The region is largely renowned for its tourism spark. It plays host to the best beaches that South America has to offer. It also gets regular visits from adventure lovers looking to quench their adrenaline thirst in the expansive jungle terrain. Other interesting activities you may participate in include sport fishing, surfing, horseback riding, bird watching and kayaking.

If you are looking to check out the wildlife, the first place you ought to head out to is Carara National Park. It is home to a large number of breathtaking Scarlett Macaws and some of the largest crocodiles on the planet. The park also has lots of hiking trails. When hiking along the trails, it is always advisable to go with a guide.

Some trails may be open or off limits depending on seasonal factors. From the onset of the rainy season, a number of them often become perilous and difficult to traverse and are therefore closed off to access. The most difficult trails to hike along are those with massively inclined topographies. If you are physically impaired, it would be best to inform your tour agency or guide of the issue early on.

While most tourists visit the park with the primary aim of sighting Scarlett Macaws, there are many other wildlife species that live within its boundaries. Most of the resident species are birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. You are assured of spotting a wide range of peccaries, sloths, monkeys, iguanas, pythons and toucans.

The beaches that dot the coastline are always heavily trafficked by those who love water sports. One area that stands out in this regard is the Manuel Antonio coastline. Most reputable tour firms include kayaking gear in their packages, so be sure to ascertain this beforehand. Some professionals also offer kayaking lessons on site to beginners, so one need not worry about his skill.

Another noteworthy gem is the Playa Biesanz, situated just by the coastline. The land that extends from the coastline is jungle territory and is filled with an array of wildlife. The beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling. Ask your agency about the availability of snorkeling equipment prior to traveling. The waters that extend to the beach are shallow and are often frequented by turtles, colorful fish and dolphins. You can also spot whales further offshore.

Riverboat safaris are pretty common along the Damas Island Estuary. The sides of the river are always teeming with rare wildlife. You can also expect to spot something refreshing with every turn you take along the river. It is no surprise kayakers love exploring it.

There are a number of essential items you should pack for your travel. Be sure to carry insect repellent, water sandals, a hat, sunscreen lotion, towel, bathing suit and a waterproof camera. Have fun during your trip.
