Costa Rica tours lead you a little off the beaten path, but one well worth the time, is the Guanacaste. This part of Costa Rica is ranching territory where the rainforest is nonexistent. Ranches double as hotels, and most offer horseback tours of the area allowing you to participate in the regions culture. In the dry season, from this vantage point, it is easy to spot monkeys, pot-bellied iguanas, birds, and even an occasional boa constrictor. For a different look head to the Rincon de la Vieja where there are bubbling pools of mud and active steam vents shadowed by the towering mist shrouded volcano.
Another National Park that should be included on Costa Rica tours list is Corcovado. Corcovado encompasses thirteen ecosystems including lowland rainforests, mangrove swamps, marine and coastal habitats, highland cloud forests, and lagoons. The largest macaw population in Central America resides here. Trekking through the park is an arduous, but rewarding tour. Humidity stands at one hundred percent. There are rivers to cross, beaches to walk only at low tide, and bushmaster snakes slinking through the woods.
