Activities & Adventure on the menu at La Mariposa
Whether you’re coming to Costa Rica for business or pleasure, Hotel La Mariposa offers some great ways to spend your free time in the country. Even though the hotel’s Spanish-American architecture and views of the ocean are beautiful, the country is too amazing not to spend time exploring it. And because of the location of the hotel, you’ll be able to see the country in some fun and adventurous ways.
If you’re a thrill seeker, you’re going to enjoy this popular way of getting a unique view of the rainforest. For this tour, you actually are going to be attached to a zip line that will carry you over the canopy of the rainforest. From that high up, you can see some amazing things, including spectacular views of waterfalls. You can move between 21 different platforms and at each one you can take a break and maybe some photographs of Costa Rica the way most tourists don’t ever get to see it. You’ll top off the afternoon with nature hike through the rainforest so you can see it from a different angle.
If you’d rather be in the water than in the sky, you can go whitewater rafting down two of Costa Rica’s rivers or head out to the larger bodies of water to do some sport fishing. La Mariposa is located near Quepos, which is one of the best places in the world to do this type of fishing. You don’t have to do anything so active to enjoy the water, however. Another popular activity at the hotel is the Mangrove Boat Tours which last half a day and take you through some amazing parts of the country.
You’ll definitely want to conduct your tour of the area with the help of some type of transportation. Thankfully, you can several alternative options to help you enjoy Costa Rica the La Mariposa way. For example, you could go horse back riding along the beaches or through the rainforest. You could also rent an ATV and explore the island alone or in with a group of fellow travelers.
No matter how long you plan to stay at Hotel La Mariposa, you don’t want to leave without taking a tour of the pristine Manuel Antonio National Park which is home to more than 180 different species of mammal and over 250 different kinds of birds. It’s definitely a must-see activity when you’re staying at the hotel.
