Mountain properties in Costa Rica with its warm and pleasant climate is fast becoming one of the most sought after places for people to retire in and to buy a second home in. private homes are also in demand in this place as most people are attracted to the affordable prices which can get them a much larger home than what they would be able to get in their own countries.
Buying mountain properties in Costa Rica is mainly among the three ranges which create 5 areas which are the Tropical lowlands, the Northwest Peninsula and the Central Plains in the north, the coastal areas along the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean and the Central Valley. The Central Valley is where most people reside. This being the most densely populated area most of the activities take place here while the remaining areas are for farms, holiday homes, resorts and some industries.

We arrived at Puerto Viejo yesterday afternoon after an extended bus ride - I love the feeling of this place - it´s a bit touristy, but really beachy and rasta , chill chill. We went for Mexican last night and all took surfing lessons early this morning - by 11am, most of us were catching waves and standing on the boards. We were going to rent bikes and explore for waterfalls but, to our dismay, were met with torrential rain this afternoon, so most of us spent our afternoons either sleeping or reading in hammocks, which really, I cannot complain about....

Rain-forest zip-lining. White-water rafting. Sea kayaking. Surfing, hiking, snorkeling.
The lengthy list of outdoor activities posted at Banana Azul, a beachside lodge just outside this Caribbean coastal town, would please even the most jaded adventure traveler.
But Melani Gordon, 31, an Internet marketing entrepreneur from San Diego, is ready for a break.
“It’s hammock time,” she says, grabbing paperbacks and heading toward the palm trees beside a nearly deserted Playa Negra.
Indeed, chilling out — albeit amid crashing surf and seaside jungles rife with noisy howler monkeys — remains the primary draw for visitors to the reggae-infused towns that line Costa Rica’s southeastern shore.

Before We Grow Up Puerto Viejo a Volcano and Da Beach

Rob and I had a break from teaching last week when Dave and Becka came to visit. We decided to go to the Caribbean coast since we’d only ever been to the Pacific, so we chose Puerto Viejo. It was a good choice. The only part of the Puerto Viejo trip I would change is our decision to stay at Rocking J’s hostel. It wasn’t the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in, but it was close.
How about some good? …Cocles beach near Puerto Viejo is one of the nicest beaches I’ve been to in Costa Rica. The sand is white, the water is blue, the sky is clear, and the waves are tall. What more could anyone ask for? We spent most of our days at Cocles - in between rounds of eating, of course.
After a few days in PV, Dave, Becka, Rob and I moved on to Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna (the town right outside it). It took about 4 hours in a minivan to get us there from PV, but it was worth it. Th

Top Ten Cheap Beach Vacations

Experienced world travelers will no doubt point out that I didn't pick the cheapest of the cheap beach locales for this compilation of top budget beach vacations. After all, why not include Goa, India; Mombasa, Kenya; Lombok, Indonesia; Koh Phi Phi, Thailand; or Nha Trang, Vietnam? I agree, you can usually find a hut on the beach at those destinations for less than ten bucks a day; however, take into account the cost of a long flight and the luxury of time that most travelers don't have and it turns into a much pricier endeavor. So, for practical purposes, I've limited my choices to the best budget beach vacations in North and Central America, with a special shout out to Brazil. Now you have no excuse not to lather on the lotion and throw down your beach towel.

Puerto Viejo a Multicultural Crossroad

We traveled to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, quite close to Panama, to the pueblo of Puerto Viejo, south of Limon. In many ways, it was hard to tell which country we were in. There is a mix of indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and Costa Rican cultures and populations, with people speaking Spanish, Creole, English, and various mixes. Stores accept dollars and colones with equal ease. The food was different, a bit more spice and kick to it, which was welcomed by all. We stayed in tropical bungalows in the midst of the wettest forest I’ve ever visited; I can’t imagine that anything or anyone is ever completely dry here. The rains were truly torrential, lasting 12-15 hours, drumming our rooftops all night, and we awoke to five inches or so of water covering the forest floor. When the rains let up, the sun came out, and we experienced 95 degree weather with 90% humidity, enough to make

As I sit here at a hostel in Puerto Viejo reminiscing about last week’s mission trips, I find myself once again amazed at God’s beautiful mosaic that He is creating out here in Costa Rica. This mosaic, which is composed of the hearts of the Costa Rican people, us summer staff, the various teams from throughout the U.S. and also those who have been praying for us back home, may be in its beginning stages however it is showing itself to be a breathtaking view.
Planning a mid February vacation for CR Caribbean coast

It is hard for me to deal without a/c...but in Puerto Viejo area...if the rooms offer a good fan it...We are planning a two week stay in Costa Rica for 2010. Places we will be visiting include Monteverde, Arenal, and the Osa. Three nights of this trip are planned for the Caribbean coast. My ideal beach stay would be on a secluded beach in a cabin or bungalow type lodging, clear blue water, gentle surf, beautiful landscape, amazing ocean views and friendly hosts. An example of the "feel" I want the lodging to offer would be something similar to Banana Azul. I haven't located many reviews covering the month of February so I would appreciate any help you can offer to determine if we Texans would be comfortable or absolutely miserable without air conditioning. I am mostly concerned about the evenings for sleeping. I hate to risk the experience of an unforgetable location for a/c and then de

Starting my trip to Panama, I found myself lost. It's actually a funny story. The plan was supposed to be: head to a town by the name of Puerto Viejo at 6 in the morning Saturday the 27th. Easy enough right? No. The interesting thing about the Costa Rican bus system is that yes, it will take you to where you need to go, however, you never actually know when you get there. So long story short, I found myself in a small town by the name of Cahuita.
Moving on from Cahuita wasn't so tough, because I had been wanting to go to Panama for quite some time. So we jumped on a bus an headed down to Sixuola.
