Vacation Home for Active Lifestyles

Costa Rica lends itself to being a perfect spot for all of these reasons. If you are looking for a vacation home in Costa Rica and you want to keep an active lifestyle there are a number of places you might want to look depending on what type of activities you are looking for.

Areas of Active Living

1.) Guanacaste – This area in the north Pacific of Costa Rica has become a great spot for surfing and a number of options of places to live in from Condos, houses, and large pieces of land. The activities in the area can be more than just beach activities. You can go hiking in the tropical dry forest or make your way up to an area called Borinquen Hotel which is around 2 hours from the area and there you rise in elevation and can experience an amazing zipline, mud-baths, hiking to Rincon de la Vieja volcano (4 hour hike) in a very lush green forest.

2.) Jaco – Here is an area in activities that are similar to Guanacaste. Many activities are located at the beach. You can also take the quads out and ride many of the nearby trails. For the nature lovers visiting the Carara National Park is an easy hike on flat surface. There are also a few ziplines in the area with gandola trams. (Jaco Real Estate)

3.) Lake Arenal – This places has to be second on my list for activities to do in the area. First of all the lake is one of the top places on the planet for wind-surfing and kite-surfing during certain months of the year. Also in the town of La Fortuna is home to the La Fortuna waterfall and you will notice that there are some adrenaline tours of rafting the Rio Toro or going canyoneering on some of the many nearby canyons. There are an endless amount of trails to hike one of them being to the Cerro Chato volcano or the Arenal Volcano National Park. Living at the Lake you are outside of the large touristy area of La Fortuna but still close enough to enjoy all of the activities. (Lake Arenal Real Estate)

4.) Dominical – This is the place that I have to vote for the person that wants to stay active during their vacation or just living an active lifestyle as the top spot. You will notice with the new coastal highway that once you start heading south of Jaco and Manuel Antonio the mountains start moving closer to the shore. This geological form means you travel less to get into the mountains. Very common to hear that this means in the Domincal area the mountain meets the see. You can literally raft some big rapids and just take your raft or kayak into the ocean on the same river. There are jungles all over and hikes to some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and remote waterfalls excellent for rapeling adventures. You head inland and you can experience the activities of San Isidro and the nearby Chirripo National park. The Savegre River is nearby and is one of Costa Rica’s best rivers for rafting. Biking is another option because you can be mountain biking in the morning and spend your afternoon surfing. Along with all these activities you have the Corcovado National Park and Cano Island for hiking and snorkeling. (Dominical Real Estate)
