      Our property in Ecuador is almost ready for you to park at if you are coming after May 22nd as I will be on vacation in Canada from April 16th until that date. There are many free things to do in our area from nature walks, night walks which include the insects that glow in the dark, waterfalls, rivers, the unknown Santuario Católico de la Pasión de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo - El Calvario which has a path of mini churches and more.
      I will shoot you an email.

    If anyone is considering Cost Roca, I urge you to come and research things before moving or even visiting. It is extremely expensive to the point that’s irritating. Especially the costal areas. Restaurants are more expensive than California. Same with groceries. Housing too especially near the beach. The worst part is drug related crimes are also increasing.

      Stable Democracy: Costa Rica has a long history of political stability and peaceful democracy.
      Pura Vida Lifestyle: The “pure life” philosophy encourages a laid-back, stress-free approach to life.
      Cost of Living: Generally lower than in the U.S., especially outside of the main tourist areas.
      Healthcare: High-quality healthcare services are available at a lower cost than in many developed countries.
      Real Estate: There’s a variety of real estate options available, from beachfront properties to mountain retreats.
      Safety: Costa Rica is often cited as one of the safest countries in Central America .
