What to do and see in Jaco, Province of Puntarenas: The Best Adrenaline & Extreme Tours

June 25, 2021 Alice Mieles

The tiny hamlet of Jaco is located in the Pacific Coast province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica. It’s the ultimate hideaway for sun seekers and active travelers, with cinnamon-hued volcanic-sand beaches, lush green rain forest and verdant mountains. Surfers flock here from around the world, but families, and honeymooners also find much to love, thanks to the multitude of beaches, outdoor activities, dining, shopping and nightlife. Explore the Costa Rican rain forest by horseback, learning about the flora and fauna in this impressive eco-system. Take an ATV tour to beaches, remote villages and waterfalls. Try your hand at sport fishing, paragliding, sea kayaking or even bungee jumping. Spend an afternoon at the Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfalls, where you’ll find millions of plants, flowers and orchids from around the world. Zip line through the jungle, play a round of golf or take an aerial tram tour of the rain forest. Expert surfers will want to check out La Roca Loca and Playa Hermosa for a challenge.

Chiclets Zipline

Located in Playa Hermosa, next to Jaco Beach and near to Marriott Los Suenos. Come and fly with us through FOURTEEN cables, one suspended bridge, UNIQUE OCEAN VIEWS and a lot of fun in a magnificient rain forest, FLY from tree to tree at 30 miles per hour in ziplines that go through the mountains and stretch along the coast, with an AMAZING landscape created from a perfect combination of the rain forest lush vegetation and the sea breeze, there is simply no other ride like this. Chiclets Zipline is a must if you are seeking for a GREAT adventure on Jaco Beach town, blessed to be located right on the edge where the mountain gently touches the ocean. Hence the contrast generated by being only 1000 feet away from the beach but 800 feet above sea level.
