Windsurfing
This is one of the top destinations in the world. Lake Arenal
provides a scenic backdrop and little or no boat traffic, making
it a must-do among avid windsurfers. Rent equipment or take a
class with Tico Wind (2692-2002) or Tilawa Windsurf Center
(2695-5050.)
Tabacón Grand Spa and Thermal Reso
With naturally-heated pools, intertwined with an icy mountain
river, the Tabacón spa experience is truly unique. The mineral
and biological composition of the water has been proven to have
positive impact on one's health, but if you need something a
little extra, the spa offers a long list of soothing treatments.

Underground Caves
Explore a labyrinth of underground caves with Venado Caves Tour.
The caves were formed during the Miocene period, between 15 and
20 million years ago. Because the caves used to be below sea
level, visitors can view marine fossils, along with the bats,
spiders and crickets that now make the place their home.
