SURFING- Playa Santa Teresa and the surrounding area has waves for all types of surfers, and is becoming recognized as a great surf spot all over the world. Santa Teresa is a two-kilometer open beach break with many different peaks. In dry season, most swells come in from the north. These are the same swells that hit North Shore Hawaii, California, and Mexico. The water is clear with an off shore wind typically in the morning. Conditions are super clean and fun with waves ranging form chest high to double overhead depending on the swell. In rainy season, we receive our swells from the south. Waves are typically bigger and stronger with more current in the ocean. Both Playa Hermosa to the north and Malpais to the south offer great spots for surfing as well. One great thing about Santa Teresa and our area: IT IS NEVER FLAT...WE SURF ALL YEAR LONG!!!

There are many surf shops in the area, and one recommendation is Pacifica Surf Shop and Skate Cafe. Here you will find our local surfboard shaper, Denga. At Pacifica, you will find boards for rent, surf lessons, ding repairs, customized boards, and a small bowl for skateboarding. To see more pictures of surfing, check IMAGES.

CANOPY TOUR-Canopy del Pacifico is a zip-line journey through the treetops, an amazing aerial tour of the tropical forest with the Pacific Ocean lying below. At Canopy del Pacifico, our canopy ride is nearly a kilometer long and has 8 platforms set high in the gigantic trees. Steel cables connect the platforms, which are between 5 and 25 meters in height. It is hard to forget the experience of flying along our 300-meter shot over a canyon between the second and the third platforms. We also offer two exciting rappels descending from gigantic trees.
