(MENAFN- The Costa Rica News) In a hectic lifestyle, many people look for different alternatives to get away from stress and city noise during their days off or on weekends.
One of the great advantages of living in Costa Rica is that it is possible to change climates and environments without having to travel long distances. This allows 1-day tours in which you can mix the adventure and contact with nature.
In this week we decided to fly by the top of the trees in the mountain, visit a beautiful lagoon, and learn more about hummingbirds and the flora of our country. Do not miss this tour!
