There are many reasons to travel. Sometimes it’s to get away, sometimes to experience and learn about different cultures. Sometimes, however it’s for adventure. If you’re like me and strive for a life full of experiences away from the normal tourist spots, Costa Rica had better be on your short list. Take note of these action-packed activities that this thrilling country offers up: ziplining, whitewater rafting, tree climbing, cliff jumping, jungle trekking, horseback riding, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving... the list is virtually inexhaustible. Here’s a collection of images that I snapped on a recent Costa Rica trip there where I can safely say that I met adventure head-on.

Getting ready to start a four-day trek through the jungle.

What a view to wake up to.

Cooling off with new friends after an exhilarating trek.

Who needs bridges when you can take a ride over the river?

Costa Rica is known for its amazing ziplines, and for good reason.

Walking through the water was a part of the fun.

It also gave us the change to cool off while we were trekking.

Taking a leap of faith…

Expect to see caves, waterfalls, and jungles, all in the same place!

Strapped in to our lines, we crossed over the edge of a waterfall.

Taking a moment to assess the cliff and to get our adrenaline in check!

There’s nothing more satisfying then new experiences in new places.
