Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a hotspot for tourists who want to get a taste of Central America. A map of Costa Rica reveals that while there are many different tourism areas, it is Limon where eco tourists like to flock to. Located toward the east of Costa Rica, the city of Puerta Viejo de Limon is world famous for its relaxed attitude, its proximity to the ocean, the outrageous waves that are causing quite a buzz on the Internet’s message boards, and the community of surfers that flock there regularly. Travelers who prefer the more sedate eco tourism will usually stay away from there and follow their Costa Rica map to different locations.

Costa Rica also has a wealth of interesting sights and sounds for the nature lover who is not necessarily ready to rough it, but who wants to experience some Costa Rica beaches while also visiting national parks and reserves. Tortuguero National Park is quite possibly the most picturesque area in Costa Rica, and many travel agencies will ensure that vacationers will add it to their Costa Rica tours.

There is precious little in Costa Rica that does show the national pride that so many of the people evidence. The Costa Rica flag is proudly flown anywhere, and it is only a matter of national pride for the inhabitants to appreciate their heritage. It is interesting to note that many wealthy travelers are not content to simply spend their money on Costa Rica vacations but have begun to buy up Costa Rica real estate as well. Costa Ricans view the influx of foreigners with a mixture of pleasure and suspicion, not knowing if Costa Rica tourism – as an industry – will continue to flourish, thus enabling Costa Rica hotels and also Costa Rica travel professionals to remain in business. At the same time, while the listings for real estate in Costa Rica newspapers is plentiful, the facts bear out that generally speaking the sale in Costa Rica of available properties is a bit slower than would otherwise be expected. This is true in many of the areas, including San Jose, Costa Rica.

For those who are still not certain if they will to visit as a tourist or if perhaps they would like to keep an eye open for a special piece of real estate, the idea of spending Christmas in Costa Rica is becoming more and more attractive. So why not book your vacation today and see what the savvy travelers have already known for years: Costa Rica is a prime destination for even the seasoned traveler!
