Once you have dived to your heart’s content there are many activities to be enjoyed above water, like canoeing, rafting and kayaking.

Especially in the hill country region there are many scenic treks offering hours of good outdoor fun, while there are numerous mountains offering a more strenuous work out with breathtaking views thrown in.
