White Water Rafting In Costa Rica

White water rafting is a must for anyone that is looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush while visiting Costa Rica. Even if you have never been rafting before there are many tour companies that offer rafting tours for beginners. The raft tour usually stops half way through the river and you can get out and check out some waterfalls, stretch your legs and eat some snacks that they provide. You will see all kinds of birds, butterflies and plants along the ride that your guide will point out and tell you a little bit about.

Happy 4th of July

Make sure if you are down here in Manuel Antonio today you check out the party scene over at Barba Roja. There is live music, great food and plenty of people to socialize with. If you have any early morning commitments I recommend you cancel them because its going to be a late night full of fun.

The Elephant beetle is one of many beetles that belong the the scarab family. They live mostly in Central and South America, so keep a look out for them while you travel around Costa Rica. This particular Elephant beetle was spotted on one of the plants in our lobby. Once the guests spotted him everyone had to get a picture of this guy to show their friends back home. It is a completely harmless and slow beetle that just likes to hangout while eating its favorite food pineapple.

Scarlet Macaw

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 20:27:28 -0500

The Scarlet Macaw is one of the most majestic creatures you can hope to run into during your travels around Costa Rica. Due to people poaching the Macaw for its exotic feathers the population has decreased, but can still be found in the Peninsula De Osa, the Carara National Park and other more jungled areas of Costa Rica. Now that the Scarlet Macaw is a protected bird there are many groups working on increasing their population back to its former glory. In the future you will be able to see these birds flying all over Costa Rica.

It has been proven that soaking in a hot water tub before sleep will help your body transition into a more deep sleep, so soak away and get a good night sleep because you never know what kind of adventure awaits you the following day.

Manuel Antonio National Park

Tue, 19 Jun 2012 14:06:00 -0500

Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the most visited place in all of Costa Rica. If you are interested in beautiful white sand beaches, crystal clear water and all the nature and tropical animals you can handle, make sure you visit this garden of eden before heading home. The best time to see wildlife is early in the morning though, so save all your late night partying and dancing for another night. As a warning, the park is closed to the public on mondays for maintenance and cleaning, so make sure to see it on a day it is open. Our national park was ranked by Forbes in 2011 as one of 12 most beautiful national parks in the world.
