COSTA RICA VACATION ARTICLE: STOP DAWDLING!Welcome to a Costa Rica vacation article the muse has prompted me to write.
If you are still undecided about traveling to Costa Rica, consider Christopher Columbus. He's the fellow who discovered--and named--Costa Rica. What if he had been indecisive like you?
10 Reasons to Take a Costa Rica Vacation ArticleSure, there is a global economic downturn but it is not going to last and every challenge presents an opportunity. Here’s a great one: take a Costa Rica vacation.Let me give you 10 reasons in this article: 1. There are great airfares and travel bargains to Costa Rica right now. 2. You'll find 799 miles of pristine coastline with hundreds of great Costa Rica beaches. Uncrowded beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. 3. Like ecotourism? Imagine a tiny little country with nearly as many different species of birds as in the entire continental U.S., nearly 1000 in all. 4. In a country about the same size as West Virginia, you’ll find nearly 5% of all the kinds of plants and animals on the face of the planet. Think about it. One of every twenty species of plants and animals in the world. 5. Only in Costa Rica can you drive to the top of a volcano and on a clear day see the Pacific Ocean. And the Atlantic. At the same time! 6. Need a little cosmetic surgery? World-class facilities await. The cost? Often only about one-third the price in the United States. Think about it. Take a trip to a spectacular place and pay for your wonderful Costa Rica vacation. You might even have a little left over when you return home. 7. Some folks come to take Spanish lessons in schools that also teach them how to surf! Or yoga. Or sexy latin dancing. Or all of the above. 8. How about fantastic weather year-round? If you get too warm, drive a few miles into the lush mountains. Swim in warm waters every day of the year. 9. Like to fish? Imagine catching a 200 pound tarpon in a tiny river. Or a great marlin (I landed a 450 pound, 13’ marlin recently). Catch and release is the rule around here. Costa Rica fishing is world famous. 10. Costa Rica is also a stable democracy. No wars (the country abolished its military 70 years ago), no turmoil, just plenty of friendly people who actually like Americans and Europeans. Don’t know Spanish? Here’s your first lesson: Pura Vida! You will hear it often. And it is truly the good life here.
