Read All About It: 15 Best Countries for Adventure Travel

Conde Nast Traveler (USA) offers its selections for the best places around planet Earth for adventure travel, a list that includes Costa Rica.

Quotable quote: “Though Costa Rica is just 19,730 square miles (roughly the size of West Virginia), a quarter of its land is protected jungle. When you’re not hot-air ballooning over, zip lining through, or climbing in that very jungle, simply point in any direction to find a new adventure in a new landscape. Adventures to try: Horseback riding on the beach; stand-up paddleboarding your way around Lake Arenal; rushing the rapids of Pacuare.”
