Looking for some adventures near Uvita, Costa Rica? There’s loads to do, and handful of experiences you really won’t want to miss. These adventures are a bit off the beaten track, so you might not necessarily see them in town in Uvita.
Zipline
Who doesn’t love a good adrenaline rush? You might have done some ziplines before, but I doubt you’ve done one quite this good. Soaring through the rainforest canopy in this relatively untouched area of the country is really something else.
For something like this, we recommend visiting the folks at Osa Canopy Tours. They’re the most established in the region and have an amazing track-record.
Mangrove Tour
If instead you’re looking for something a little more relaxed but still out in the wild, you might want to check out the Mangrove tour that leaves from Sierpe. It’s an easygoing boat-ride on the mangrove delta, where you’re guaranteed to see a bunch of wildlife from birds and monkeys to snakes and crocs! Their expert guides will take good care of you and ensure you get to see lots of different species endemic to the zone.
Our favourite crew is called “La Perla Del Sur” or “The Pearl of the South”. You can check them out over here.
Nauyaca Waterfalls
There are loads of waterfalls here in Costa Rica – but this one is just a bit extra. With two levels of stunning waterfalls, and a huge natural pool at the bottom, it’s the perfect place for a hike and a picnic with your crew. We’d recommend you walk in and out (8kms roundtrip), but there are options for a shuttle or horseback rides too.
Take some snacks or pack a lunch, because you’ll want to stay there longer than you think you will, once you’re there. Check out their rates of entry over here.
Canyoning
For a blended adventure – part adrenaline, part tranquil – you’re going to want to join us on our canyoning adventure in Cortes. We’re just a short drive south of Uvita and the rainforest we explore is untouched and pristine. We won’t encounter anyone while we’re making our way down this course. At the beginning, the intensity of the rappels gets your heart pumping, but before you know it you’re in the middle of primary rainforest, with nothing but nature sounds rushing over you. You’ll take the deepest breaths here.
It would be a pleasure to have you come on the tour with us! You can save your spot over here.
We hope you like all of our tried and tested recommendations here for adventures to do near Uvita. Sometimes the best adventures are just a short drive away 🙂
