  3. A forest of possibilities

    With nearly 800 miles of coastline stretching along two oceans, it's no surprise that more than a million surfers and sun worship-pers flock to Costa Rica to enjoy its fabulous beaches each year. But in addition to breathtaking white sands and emerald-azure seas, many of Costa Rica's "riches" lie inland.

    <em>Second of two parts.</em>

  5. Shuttle gone, Brevard hopes eco-tourism launches new era

    Kayaking in the Mosquito Lagoon on a moonless summer night reveals blazing stars and comets &mdash; not in the sky but in waters thick with "bioluminescent" plankton.

  6. Swooping in to help Laos

    It's the fourth zip line that spills the surprise. Confident now, I leap off the platform to feel the cable bounce heavily, then snap taut under my weight. Gravity takes over, shooting me through a tunnel of blurring foliage until the whirr of the pulley-wheels above me gives way to the roar of rushing water. I burst through the canopy like a flying squirrel, and there, not 10 yards away, a perfect waterfall topples over the escarpment brim, fracturing the sunlight into arcing rainbows.

  8. In Panama, a taste of the tropics and a new state of mind

    Racing through a Panamanian archipelago by sport boat, I couldn't help but feel like James Bond. It was just me and a mustachioed driver, speeding toward a remote island where I would spend a few decadent days at an eco-resort, hiking the rain forest, sunning myself by an infinity pool and sucking down rum cocktails to a soundtrack of rolling, tropical surf.

  10. Cruise Port Spotlight: Puerto Limón, Costa Rica

    Often likened to a Noah's Ark due to its rich fauna, including 1,250 species of butterflies and multitudes of bird species, Costa Rica is sort of a poster child for eco-tourism. This tiny Central American country -- roughly the size of West Virginia -- has 12 ecological zones and has made an effort to preserve its many natural attributes and wilderness in national parks. It also offers multiple eco-friendly activities: from river rafting to hiking, snorkeling and kayaking, to zip-lining and tram-riding over the rainforest canopy.
