If you prefer outdoor activities, there are several companies that will help you, balancing on a rope in the best Tarzan style in a zip-line through the forest, bungee jumping, paragliding on the shore, or renting an ATV to drive through rivers and trails full of mud are several of the options offered. Looking for a peaceful activity? Rent a boat a kayak or catamaran and navigate to nearby beaches. You will hopefully see some whales and dolphins!
