Eco Tours Costa Rica Volcano Arenal Accommodations

"Eco-Tours" is ever more popular here in "Costa Rica. With "Rain Forests" surrounding "Arenal Volcano" in Central Costa Rica, adventure never ends. "Ecology" is the main them of the "Country of Green". After "Retirement" I left "Florida" and the stress of the " United States". For 2 years, I have enjoyed the "Costa Rican Animals" that I see daily, for my Home is 300 yards from the "Rain Forest" at the Base of "Arenal Volcano".

"Volcano Arenal"

"My Eco-Friendly Home"

I see "Tourists in Town daily, they are all looking forward to the "Wildlife Adventures" that are offered here in "Costa Rica". The "Rain Forests" are  so many different shades of Green during the day, you will be amazed. I am lucky enough to have found an excellent peice of "Real Estate" at the Base of  the "Volcano"  

Since, I am an American and have lived here for 2 years, I thought I would write this for all the "Tourists" and "Adventure" seekers thinking of taking a "Vacation" or enjoy the "Animals of Costa Rica"..

"Volcano Arenal"

"Cabin built by Johan at Arenal Oasis"

"Tours" in "Costa Rica" are plentiful, if you desire a personalized Tour may I suggest Johan Peraza who will provide you with a true "Adventure" in "Costa Rica". Before relocating from "Florida" to "Costa Rica" we met Johan at "Arenal Oasis Eco-Lodge".http://arenaloasis.com/  . Johan though only 34 has lived in the "United States" yet loves "Costa Rica" for the "Wildlife" that is found here. Knowledgeable is all the "Bird Species to be found here for he lived next to the "Rainforest" of the House I now own. 

He loves to Specialize in "Tours for all ages, yet Senior Citizens are his specialty". Even though you are wearing a few years, that does not mean "Adventure" is impossible. For those that love "Nature", may I suggest "Arenal Oasis Eco-Lodge" for a Private Rustic Cabin, surrounded by Canopies of Trees, Fruits, "Bird Species of all kinds". 

For day Trips you and Johan can work out "Waterfalls, Volcano Night Tours, Canoe Trips" and much more including "Fishing" on Fabulous and Famous "Lake Arenal". The Tranquility of "Costa Rica" will relax you due to the stress I see daily going on in the "United States". Being from "Florida" I am glad Retirement brought me to LaFortuna, with perfect weather and fabulous people. The Country of "Green Forests" of which the Protected "Forests" have Animals, Birds and everchanging "Volcano" Views....

Personalized "Vacation" service for "Tourists" is his motto... phone from "United States" is 01150683462245, or you may contact me with question at cocoavillage1@yahoo.com.

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".

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....

"Costa Rica Sundown"

We just moved the Sofa out onto our Porch for we live outside here in "Costa Rica". The weather is about 70 degrees and it is 6 at night. The Weather here by "Arenal Volcano" in Costa Rica is the perfect climate to enjoy Nature for the Outside is your Living Room.

"Arenal Volcano Costa Rica"

"Peach Colored Clouds"

The "Volcano" top is Fogged in but the sky on either side of it is colored like peach ice cream. 

"Pair of Chestnut Toucans"

"Tropical Dairy Cows"

"Cows at Play"

A Pair of Toucans is calling, about a half mile away. We have Flocks of Toucans and indivual Toucans that land in our yard daily. The Farmer next door has been cutting feed for his Cows all day. I can hear the Farmer's Dog bark so it must be time to feed the Animals. 

"Green Hummingbird"

Twilight now, but an iridescent green "Hummingbird" is getting his last licks, on the feeder about 5 feet away. 

A Fog is rolling up the Mountain and obscuring the View. I would go inside and watch the Sideshow from "Washington D.C.", but our Satelitte Dish was hit by Lightning on Tuesday evening. Maybe it is just as well that we are without Television. My feet are getting cold I may put on a pair of socks or not. That is the kind of big decision I can handle. 

So Retirement from the "United States" to Costa Rica does have it's advantages with Wildlife, Climate, Tourists, and and low taxes we are very Happy here in Costa Rica.

Weather is Great in LaFortuna, Costa Rica

The United States I see is in a "Heat Wave". After Living in Albany, New York who's temperatures in the the High 90's today, and living in Cocoa, Florida who is also in the Upper 90's, I feel grateful that it is 9 in the Morning and I am looking at "Arenal Volcano" as my front View and the Temperatures are mid 70's. I retired from the Medical Profession after 30 years in Practice in Cocoa, Florida. After numeous trips to Costa Rica, we decided the the "LaFortuna" area home to "Arenal Volcano" and top Tourist Resorts would make a Perfect New Home. We lucked in and found a Beautiful Log Chalet just yards from the Rainforest with unobstructed Views of the Volcano and Rainforests. Here are a few Photographs for you. I now spend my retirement Painting and Photographing the Birds and Wildlife around me. So if you want Lower Taxes ,william-patterson.artistwebsites.com and Home for a Great Price, and a Climate that if perfect, Consider Central Valley of Costa Rica.
