Costa Rica Vacation: A nature lover's dream!

Costa Rica is a small country of some three million inhabitants, but it is a vacation destination with an abundance of variety.

Once you “settle in”, you are struck by the lush, green beauty of the countryside. It seems that everywhere you look, you see palm trees, banana plants, and sugarcane as well as coffee plantations and many kinds of exotic plants, bushes, and flowers. Costa Rica is a nature lover's paradise. If you enjoy being at one with nature, you will get enthralled by this fascinating vacation destination.

Enjoy the lush variety of plants and trees, the tropical flowers, the cultivated flower nurseries protected by black netting, and the intensive strawberry farming.  Take a picture standing next to the huge leaves of the sombrilla del pobre (poor person’s parasol) plant.

During your Costa Rica vacation, you will see butterflies everywhere. Within easy reach of San José, there are a couple of butterfly farms where you can see and photograph butterflies in a natural setting.  Another example of variety in the wild is the birdlife of Costa Rica. You have to be alert to see some of the birds and even faster to photograph them!

Costa Rica is famous for its wide variety of national and private parks, Indian reserves, and wildlife refuges. In fact, almost 27 percent of the land is protected, the largest proportion of any country in the world.

There is so much to see and absorb in Costa Rica that a two-week vacation will only allow you to scratch the surface, so be prepared to plan a second vacation to this fascinating country.

Gilligan's Island Trivia

Just about all the islands of the Caribbean have four special  “ingredients” that make up a remarkable “commodity”: a mixture of sand, sea, air and, of course, the tropical sun.  The combination of these four ingredients make delightful beaches and resort areas.   

Whether you are a first time visitor or you've been there often enough to be called a "local", the experience is very pleasant and enjoyable: swimming in the clear, blue-green water with a beach of sand as white and fine as salt; an early morning drive along sandy beaches, fringed with coconut palms—every breath of pollution-free air being a pleasure.
