Chill at Pacific Lots
August 11-14, 2012 – Southern Zone, Costa Rica
The scenery in this part of Costa Rica is dramatically beautiful. The knife-edge mountain ridges curve like a dragon’s spine, twisting and turning their way to the horizon and dropping sharply to the long sandy beaches that run along this coastline. Rich pristine forests cloak the mountain slopes, teeming with wildlife. Yet you’re only three hours from an international airport. And you’re sipping an espresso you just bought from a little coffee shop. Your picnic basket is filled with goodies…warm baguettes, Brie, smokehouse chicken, mangoes, and fresh-squeezed juice. You’re on your way to meet friends for a day at the beach, sunning yourself on the sand, taking a dip in the warm ocean…relaxing and enjoying life. Think this is a pricey fantasy…one you couldn’t possibly afford in Costa Rica? In fact, you can own a lot in this location for only $40,000. It used to be tough getting here, and that kept property prices low…but a new highway that opened last year is bringing more tourists and property shoppers to this location. You should check this place out now, before it booms. For only $299, you’ll get four days here…meals, accommodation and transport included.
