Nature Vacation Costa Rican Style

How about a "Nature Vacation" like no other. I am talking about staying in a small Family run Eco-Friendly Resort with only 7 Rustic Cabins. You will relax, enjoy and think you are in another world, no stress. Since moving from the "United States" 2 years ago, I love "Costa Rica", it is a different lifestyle, relaxed laid back and you appreciate the small things better. I thought I would pass this information about "Arenal Eco-Lodge" http://arenaloasis.com/ along to all those who need to relax.

Set on 15 Acres of which only 10 are cleared, you will find 7 Cabins with Teak furniture, private gardens seperating each cabin, parking spaces, Canopies of Century Old Trees overhead filled with Birds and "Wildlife". "Lonely Planet" has great reviews of this small lodge, I live just 10 minutes from this "Resort". this is ideal for the "Tourist" that wants a "Vacation" that is back to "Nature", with "Birdwatching", "Jungle Night Hikes" with Frogs and other "Animals". You will not be disappointed in the "Green Vacation" next to "Arenal Volcano". I moved from "Florida" and I am sure you will love the weather here, for other pictures of this "Tourist" destination please visit my website at william-patterson.artistwebsites.com

"Love in the Wild" " Filmed where we live"

"Helicopter filming over Arenal Volcano"

Many Friends have called us from the "United States" asking if we have seen the TV Series "Love in the Wild". We Live in "LaFortuna, Costa Rica" where the Episodes were filmed. I wondered why there were Helicopters with cameras flying over my cabin at the Base of "Arenal Volcano" .

Since Relocating from "Florida" to "LaFortuna, Costa Rica" we have found paradise. With the "Rainforest at our front door, peace, security and exceptional neighbors, we feel as secure here as we did in our Historic Neighborhood in "Cocoa, Florida".

I hear the "Costa Rica" is the Talk of the "United States" for it is truly Paradise. "Love in the Wild" shows you the exceptional Wildlife and Animals found here in Central Costa Rica, and the fabulous Resorts amoungst Eco-Friendly Cabins.

Since Retirement as a Doctor of 30 years in "Cocoa, Florida", I wanted a tranquil life, and I found it in my Rainforest Home, only yards from the Rainforest and at the base of "Arenal Volcano".
