"Senior Adventure Tours in Costa Rica"






If you think that you are too Old for "Adventure" Tourism, think again. "Arenal Oasis Eco-Lodge" http://arenaloasis.com/ . Imagine an "Oasis Adventure" of 7 Private Rustic Cabins of Teak Wood, with one and 2 Bedrooms with Kitchenettes. Just Half a mile to the "Waterfall" that run off "Volcano Arenal" one of the main "Tourist" destinations in "Costa Rica.
The Family Run Lodge has now put together a "Senior Adventure " Package for those that love adventures and "Nature". A Bi-Lingual Guide is available for daily tours or by the week, choose from Relaxing on the front porch of you Cabin and watching the Hundreds of "Bird Species" found on the 15 acres, with Towering Century Old Trees that line the Walking Trails leading to the River and Snake Gardens, Frog Ponds all with Birds sounds around you.
The average Temperature is 78 during the day and low 70's at night. After living in "Florida" for 30 years and as a Doctor I specialized in "senior care", I felt obliged to let you know that why sit at home in the " United States" for Costa Rica can be an excellent choice for a relaxing, safe vacation. Transportation is provided or you may choose to bring a rental car. Contact me at cocoavillage1@yahoo.com and I will answer all your questions....

"The Forest Floor"
Water flows off of the Volcano forming Springs, Rivers and "Spectacular Waterfalls", some of which flow into "Thermal Hot Springs" at nearby Resorts. This part of Costa Rica is the top "Tourist" destination for adventure. The Green Beauty that surrounds you is everywhere. I live yard from the "Jungle Rainforest" where the River Flows  through the "Jungle". There are ancient "Lava" rocks lining the banks,Huge Boulders from the "Volcanic Eruption of 1968". Nature surrounds you in this "Green Landscape". 
"Colorful Fern Forest Floor"

"15ft Green Fern Tree"

Green is everywhere from the Trees, Ferns and animals. Green Fern Trees as tall as 50 feet high, drape over the "jungle river". On the "Forest Floor" are plants of every color, red, green yellow all this with "Birds of every Color" flying throughout the massive Green Rain Forest canopy.

"My Wraparound Porch"
"Our Outside Living Room"
"Tranquility in "Costa Rica", yet turmoil in the "United States". I sit here in my Home next to the "Rainforest" . I now feel at peace here in "Costa Rica". With the "Real Estate" market in the "United States" in a downturn, I am glad I moved here 2 years ago. Retirement has brought me "Peace of Mind", Low Taxes yes our taxes on this House with Volcano View are $400 a year, Tourists spend that a Night at the 5 Star Resorts a Mile away.
So, Now I spend my Time Painting "Rain Forest" Landscapes for the Rainforest is just steps from my door.

"Cool Off in the Rainforests and Lakes of Costa Rica"








Here i sit in my Home, in "LaFortuna, Costa Rica", Home to"Arenal Volcano"
"Volcano Arenal" is one of the Top Tourist destinations for those on "Vacation in Costa Rica".
My Husband and I traveled to Costa Rica for 7 years on vacation, seeking a potential "Retirment Home". After 30 years in Cocoa, Florida with the Oppressive Heat, endless Property Tax increases, we decided to seek an alternative to "Retirement in the United States".
Sure there is give and take, yet I would rather sit in my Cozy Pine Chalet just 300 yards to the Rainforest, and enjoy the weather of mic 80's during the day and a Pleasant 75 or so at night. Yes sometimes we even put on sweat pants. Here is our Home just half a mile from the Famous LaFortuna Waterfall and 8 minutes from all the Resorts such as Baldi Hot Springs with endless pool of water from the Arenal Volcano and for relaxation it has a swim up Bar.
Our Home purchased for 105K...taxes $400.00 a year, 2.00 monthly for water...Sat TV 45.00 a month 200 channels...
The "Rainforest is just yards from our Door, and attracts Birds of all kinds, Toucans, Macaws, Parrots are always Flying over and Landing in our Yard or the Rainforest Canopy that Borders the River at the Base of the Volcano. I can advise you on any questions you may have. Lake Arenal Famous for Large Peacock Bass is the Best Fishing ever http://www.arenal.net/ to explore the Lake and Arenal Volcano Area.
