Summertime Costa Rican Vacation Secrets Revealed in Free eBook
Summertime Costa Rican Vacation Secrets Revealed in Free eBook
Pennsville, NJ (PRWEB) May 12, 2008
Publisher Joe Farinaccio still loves taking his wife and children to the Jersey shore, where he spent many summer days as a kid. But he discovered booking a Caribbean trip to Costa Rica would likely result in more family fun for his vacation dollars.
“Although adventurers and snow birds usually fly south to tropical Costa Rica when it’s cold up north, the best time to vacation here is during summer months in North America and Europe,” he said. “In reality, it’s warm all the time in Costa Rica. So the best travel deals exist when the official tourist season ends … and large crowds disappear in June, July and August.”
Even though Costa Rica’s “rainy” season covers the same months North Americans are enjoying summer, many people don’t realize it typically rains there just a couple of hours every afternoon — that’s it. Mornings in Costa Rica are usually sunny, evenings are generally clear, and pleasant temperatures abound throughout the day.
“There’s so much to see and do in Costa Rica,” Farinaccio said. “But you have to plan carefully. Working out an itinerary on the fly is a very bad idea.”
To help others see what Costa Rica offers, Farinaccio created a free ebook entitled, “Insider Tips and Activities Guide for Costa Rica.” It contains valuable information for anyone who’d like to know more about experiencing a unique, fun-filled tropical adventure in the Caribbean this summer … including:
1. Visiting beaches world-renown for their breathtaking beauty — minus the large crowds. Hollywood stars and other famous personalities enjoy these quiet havens all the time because most beaches in Costa Rica let you carve out a little slice of “private paradise” along the shore.
2. Cruising on a chartered boat ride for world-class sport fishing. Booking half-day and multi-day charters is possible. And Costa Rica’s shores are teeming with sailfish, blue marlins, striped marlins, sea bass, yellow fin tuna, wahu, roosterfish, mackerel, dorado and red snapper.
3. Hiking up a mountainside to see an active volcano early in the day, and then relaxing in natural hot springs (while sipping a favorite tropical drink) all afternoon. Most people assume they have to fly to Hawaii to enjoy this sort of thing. Instead of traveling halfway around the world to watch lava and sip cocktails, an adventurer only needs to fly 2 hours south of Miami.
4. Sliding down a famous “zipline” ride. A series of cables takes riders along the canopy of Costa Rica’s rain forest. This exhilarating ride above the trees gives gliders the sensation they’re flying in the air over wild jungles beneath.
5. Rappelling down jungle waterfalls. A huge number of small, yet spectacular waterfalls exist throughout Costa Rica. And skilled guides take participants down the inclines of many of them, using secure ropes so vacationers can play in tranquil pools when they reach the bottom. These are ideal spots for private lunches and romantic swims.
6. Shooting pictures throughout an exotic “river safari” — without going all the way to Africa. Highly skilled naturalists and guides host exclusive riverboat tours. And the diversity of animal life, including monkeys, toucans, iguanas, crocodiles or any of the hundreds of other wildlife species frequently encountered on these trips, amazes most travelers.
7. Sipping Java at an authentic coffee plantation. Coffee lovers get a real-world look at how coffee beans go from field to supermarket shelf. The whole process is covered — including how beans are grown, harvested and then finally processed. Of course, fresh cups of “brew” are naturally a part of such tours — along with other savory treats, like chocolate-covered coffee beans.
8. Riding world-renown river rapids. Bi-lingual guides assist thrill seekers along journeys down any of a wide variety of fast-moving Costa Rican rivers. The biggest challenge can be deciding which whitewater-rafting trip you’re going to book ahead of time.

Free Web Seminar to Compare Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico and More
Free Web Seminar to Compare Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico and More
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 16, 2010
On Wednesday, October 13, Hacienda Matapalo Executive Vice President Brian Albury will present a no-holds-barred look at Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama, Mexico and other locations in order to answer the question: Is Costa Rica still the best place in Latin America for purchasing real estate?
The Web-based seminar, which is free and open to the public, will examine the various locations throughout Central America on a variety of topics ranging from political and financial structures to the quality of life and the people who live there.
“There continues to be a great deal of misinformation spread around about some of these countries,” said Albury, who presented a similar eSeminar several months ago. “That misinformation creates a lot of confusion for those who wish to purchase or invest in the region. Whether it’s Costa Rica or any other place, individuals deserve to know the facts and not be fooled by rumors and fabrications.”
Albury said the goal of the eSeminar will be to correct the misconceptions about the region and to provide people with information on the various countries that is both accurate and unbiased. “People need the correct information so they can make intelligent decisions that are in their own best interests,” he explained.
“When you line up the different countries side-by-side and compare them in a variety of categories, you can clearly see what a good decision is and what a bad decision is,” he said. “But don’t just take my word for it; listen to what the U.S., Canadian and British governments have to say about all these places.”
Unlike many of its neighbors, Costa Rica has not suffered from many of the troubles that have plagued other Latin American countries. Dictatorships, corruption, disease or escalating and widespread crime has not been part of the Costa Rican landscape. Instead it has flourished as one of the top places to live from both an environmental and economic point of view.
While caution and common sense are always suggested to anyone planning to buy property in a country not their own, those looking to invest in Latin America should weigh their options. And even though Costa Rica is still considered the best return on investment throughout the region, it’s not all about money.
“All of these countries except Costa Rica have immigration issues where their citizens are trying to leave their homelands for a number of reasons,” Albury noted. “But there’s a reason why Costa Ricans don’t leave Costa Rica. When a country is consistently ranked higher than its neighbors – and in many cases higher than the U.S., U.K. or Canada – in terms of safety, health and government stability, it really says something about the place.”
The free eSeminar is scheduled for a 6 p.m. Eastern Time start and may be registered for here.

Baby Boomers have learned that Costa Rica Real Estate investments in 401/IRA plans appreciate in a time frame consistent with pending retirement, and the low cost of living provides a great lifestyle as you enjoy the benefits of your investment
In 2006, the first Baby Boomers began to turn 60 years old. They are just the first in a massive wave of soon-to-be retirees seeking affordable housing, sunshine, safety and quality of life. It is not just the retiring Americans, there are also Canadians, Germans, Swedes, British, Italian, French and others that are looking to escape unfavorable weather, poor economies, expensive housing, crowded suburbs, complicated health care systems and unfair tax burdens.
Since it is becoming obvious that most retirees will be unable to afford the lifestyle they want in the United States, many are retiring to destinations such as Costa Rica. As a result of this international trend, Costa Rica is experiencing the early stages of a land boom. Costa Rica’s real estate market will absolutely have a long-term sustainable boom because it is based upon new flows of wealth, not just speculation or currency and interest rate manipulations like the United States real estate market.
Some interesting facts about Costa Rica include:
1. Costa Rica has been a democracy for more than 115 years. It is the only country in the western hemisphere that does not have an army. In fact it abolished its army in 1949 and allocated the defense budget to education and health care, resulting in the highest literacy rate in the western hemisphere. At 96% Costa Rica has the second highest literacy rate in the world!
2.I n a recent study of health systems around the world Costa Rica was ranked just above the United States. In fact, Costa Rica’s health care system is rated among the top in the world and it has become a leading destination in the world for cosmetic surgery and dental work. They have a lower infant mortality rate than the U.S. and Costa Ricans outlive Americans by 5 years on average.
3. CNBC calls Costa Rica “The Hottest Real Estate Market on the Planet!”
4 Fortune magazine ranked San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital, among its 25 best cities in the world to do business.
5.Foreign investors in Cost Rica have equal rights and laws to protect them. The regulations for conducting business in Costa Rica are the same for both local and foreign corporations, which can fully own and con trol local corporations, as well as real estate without any access limitations or restrictions.
6. Living up to it’s namesake as “The Switzerland of the Americas”, Costa Rica offers: asset protection from creditors, judgments, liens, bankruptcy and divorce; privacy from individuals and governments and fewer taxes.
7. There are NO capital gains taxes on the sale of property in Costa Rica. There is no income tax in Costa Rica on money earned outside the country by legal residents.
8. More social security checks go to Costa Rica than anywhere else in the world! Currently over 300,000 Americans are living in Costa Rica either full or part time.
9. You can live extremely comfortable on as little as $ 2000 a month in an extraordinarily beautiful country with gorgeous sunsets, endless beaches, unbelievable fishing, spectacular mountains and warm friendly people.
10. Property taxes are 0.25% of the recorded property value, which is not always based on real market value. Thereby your $ 250,000 luxury getaway is just $ 625 year in property taxes. Additionally, since the Pacific coast of Costa Rica is actually hurricane proof, insurance is for your luxury home is just as inexpensive as the taxes.
11.Ownership of real estate in Costa Rica includes a deed and title insurance; just like in the United States. The ownership of all properties is recorded in the National Registry, as are all liens, and encumbrances on properties.
