White-water rafting, ziplining over the forest canopy, horseback riding and hiking in the tropical rainforest to soaking in the natural hot springs and strolling along the stunning hanging bridges. You can stay at a beautiful hotel with view of the forest and volcano, a lodge popular with avid birders or opt for the most famous resort in the world where guests can experience every possible luxury and comfort. Either way, you are guaranteed a wonderful trip!
