 | | Why Go: "In 1978, there was no adventure travel in Costa Rica," says Michael Kaye, Costa Rica Expeditions founder and white-water rafting pioneer. |
 | | Kaye remains committed to sustainable tourism in Costa Rica: He funnels part of his profits to development projects, including a football field-length bridge that connects the village with Tortuguero park headquarters, strengthening park-community relations. |
 | | Need to Know: When picking travel dates, consider what's known as the "secret season," the two-week period right after the New Year, when the holiday crowds are gone, the rains have stopped, and the jungles are yours alone. |
