Land Activities in Costa Rica
Canopy Tours in Costa Rica
Adventurous participants may enter the forest canopy and see jungle
life from a unique and different perspective. One of the best canopy
or “tree-top” tours in the country is available at Hacienda
Baru, about 10 minutes by car from Punta Dominical. You can go with
a professional canopy guide to a tree platform high above the floor
of the forest. You can also zip from platform to platform - the adrenaline
rush is an unforgettable experience.
Horseback Riding in Costa Rica
One of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Punta Dominical
is on horseback. Guided horseback riding tours may be scheduled from
several Dominical locations. You can choose tours that take you along
beaches and jungle trails and through river crossings to experience
waterfalls, mineral pools, and spectacular mountain views.
Waterfalls in Costa Rica
Ride a horse or hike to a waterfall. Swim, float, or snorkel in the
refreshing waters. A choice of three spectacular waterfalls is available
in the Dominical area. One, Pozo Azul, is located on the Punta Dominical
property.
Bird Watching in Costa Rica
Few countries in the world offer as many different species of birds
in such a small area as Costa Rica. Toucans are commonly seen and heard
around Punta Dominical. To the south, in Corcovado National Park, visitors
can see the beautiful and rare scarlet macaws. An experienced field
guide who knows the area and also the bird calls is essential for anyone
who is seriously interested in seeing birds. A Guide to the Birds of
Costa Rica by F. Gary Stiles and Alexander F. Skutch, is a great resource
for visiting birders.
