The Allure of Costa Rica

April 2, 2020 By Linda Leave a Comment

Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse regions on earth – rugged lands embraced by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Caribbean Sea on the east.  Its fascinating ecosystems, 26 national parks, eight biological reserves, numerous protected wildlife habitats and miles of inviting beaches beckon thousands of visitors each year. Located on the Ring of Fire, Costa Rica is home to over two hundred identified volcanic formations (some over sixty million years old) showcasing some of natures most beautiful artwork. Costa Rica’s many national parks and reserves are a haven for the eco-tourist, surfing, hiking, golf, scuba diving and world class spas featuring the hot springs are ever popular for visitors as well. From romantic honeymoons to guided  group tours Costa Rica offers something for every visitor.

To maintain its vast natural beauty Costa Rican law protects not only the wildlife, but its bio-diverse land with strict restrictions on development on beaches and within rainforests. There is so much for adventure lovers to explore-zip-lining through vast lush green canopies, whitewater rafting down serious rapids, hang ten in one of the best surfing destinations in the world or horseback ride through amazing landscapes. Volcanoes – best known Arenal Volcano visible from most resort areas and spas  has stood guard over Costa Rica for thousands of years. Visitors should note that dry season is December to April and the prefect time to explore the rainforest or relax on the beach, but also can be very crowded in the larger cities.

Unique features of Costa Rica :

Wellness – Thermal Springs warmed by local volcanoes make spa days something special, Forest Bath– featuring mindful meditations in this ancient practice of forest bathing to soothe souls and enhance health and happiness, Blue Zones – (an area where locals commonly live to be over 100 years old) Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula has been named one of the world’s five classified Blue Zones.

Wildlife – Costa Rica is home to over half a million different species of indigenous animals ,including just over 300,000 insects.

Diversity- famed cloud forests, mist from the skies settle into the treetops, lending an otherworldly look into the greenery and offering spectacular views of the country, rainforests with their own eco-zone, mangroves and dry forests with all types of vegetation.

Five Distinct Areas to Visit :

What Linda’s Clients Say…

Just returned from Hawaii ( Maui) for our wedding and honeymoon. Or as Linda put it "weddingmoon".

Everything was perfect. Linda's attention to detail was exceptional. I was a little hesitant using an agent over the internet. She kept in close contact via phone and email. I couldn't have ask for more from a local travel agent.

I had dates and hotel in mind when I contacted her. Not only did she make my itinerary reality... she beat the price of a popular travel company.

After working with her, she mentioned she books for "non wedding" vacations as well. And is an expert in Caribbean as well as Hawaii. So we will be using her for our next Caribbean vacation as well. I highly recommend her. When planning a trip of such magnitude, you want peace of mind. Linda will provide this and so much more.

Sincerely,
Patty & Dell

LINDA DANCER is BY FAR the BEST travel agent and wedding coordinator out there!

I originally stumbled upon Linda while googling for some wedding help to plan a wedding in Kauai Hawaii and boy did I luck out! I got a hold of Linda and from day 1 she was nothing but helpful, kind, understanding, and patient! Linda first asked me what I had pictured for my dream wedding and I gave her an idea that was all over the map because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted yet. My only requirement was somewhere grassy near the beach. I was worried because I am a full time student again, and my now husband had an emergency surgery that stole nearly our entire wedding budget, so I wasn't sure if our dream wedding in Kauai could even happen on such a small budget.

Linda told me anything was possible and immediately came back with many affordable suggestions, pictures, ideas, and options. Linda went above and beyond....not only did she suggest a bunch of places, but she contacted ALL of the places I was interested in to see if my wedding on a tight budget could even happen.  She worked with all of them, and COMPLETELY took the stress off of me having to do it all! Once we decided on a place, I posted Linda's information on our wedding website for all of my guests to use for travel accommodations. Linda took care of it all, and EVERY single one of my guests had wonderful things to say about Linda. I will use Linda for LIFE!

Although her specialty is weddings and honeymoons, she is the best travel agent out there in my opinion for anything you want to do or anywhere you want to go. Linda doesn't even cost anything to you as the customer...which is unheard of so what more could you possibly ask for!??  Thanks to Linda my wedding was WAY MORE than I thought it would be, and my vision and dream had certainly come true.  I have the most beautiful pictures of any wedding I've ever seen thanks to Linda and her expertise in knowing exactly what I had pictured!  I cannot thank Linda enough, and I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING negative to say about Linda...

she truly is perfect at her job and you will not be disappointed in using Linda Dancer!!  Thank You Linda!! XOXO

Love,
Eric & AJ Cooper
