Top 2 cultural & heritage things to do in Santa Cruz

Heritage walks, museum days, temple complexes, and the kind of guides who explain why a place matters rather than reciting dates. The cultural side of Santa Cruz, paced for actual seeing.

  1. Rincon De La Vieja Volcano Adventure Day., Santa Cruz1

    1. Rincon De La Vieja Volcano Adventure Day.

    5.0· 24 reviews· 10 hours

    There is no better place to enjoy the adrenaline that Costa Rica can offer. Nothing compares to flying over the largest volcano in Costa Rica: Rincon De La Vieja. In this adventure you can enjoy the best zipline in the Guanacaste area but we can also enjoy horseback riding, a 420 meter long water slide, a cultural experience that includes an explanation about sugar cane, typical food and a detailed explanation about the Pottery. To relax at the end, this park offers hot springs and mud baths. Don't forget, from the heights of the zipline to the relaxation of the hot springs, this is the best tour you can book and the best part is that it is private.
