Question

Any ideas or suggestions on what to do in Costa Rica? I am currently in Costa Rica for three weeks and I want to do fun things while I am over here.

Answer 1

extreme sports (bungee, canopy, etc)

go to the beach, mountains or volcanos

visit museums

and party all around!

Answer 2

If you are in Costa Rica, you should have a really good idea of what is there.  But here are some things you can find in CR:  white water rafting, kayaking, surfing, beaches, hiking, biking, ATV, horseback riding, volcanoes, rain forest, canopy tours, suspension bridge hiking, shopping, spice farms, butterfly gardens, zoos, botanical gardens, guided tours (such as the city of San Jose with history and stuff), catamaran rides, waterfalls, museums, hot springs, and repelling.  I think I just named everything I've ever done in CR and a bunch of stuff that I haven't gotten around to yet.  But that should give you an idea of what you can do while you are there.
