Through the lens: Costa Rica

I try to load my blog postings and profile with pictures that show you what Costa Rica is like and what you can expect to see when you are down there. I recently came across some fantastic pictures from Costa Rica that I just had to share.

	The first time I saw this picture, it was the eyes of the child just struck me. This boy has the Costa Rican flag painted on his face. The black background makes it even more appealing.

	This little guy has got to be one of the ambassador's for Costa Rica - or at least the most well known one! Costa Rica has dozens of species of tree frogs. This one happens to be the Red-eyed Tree Frog.

	Scarlet Macaws live in Costa Rica and they are a prized part of this country's wildlife. The Central Pacific Chamber of Commerce out of Jaco has a project to help protect these precious birds.

	If you haven't noticed yet, Costa Rica is teeming with wildlife. In fact, according to the National Geographic, Costa Rica is the most biologically rich country. But enough about National Geographic - isn't this little monkey cute!!

	Many people have recognized that Costa Rica and Hawaii are similar in many senses. One obvious similarity is that they both have active volcanoes. Arenal volcano (shown on the left) is the most well known and visited volcano in Costa Rica, offering some amazing night shows.

	Waterfalls are quite abundant, and in some cases you may even end up with one on your property!

	North American beachfront property may be out of reach for a large majority of North Americans. But Costa Rica beachfront property is still within reach of most North Americans, so you CAN enjoy oceanfront seating you see here.

	Manuel Antonio - the largest and most well known National Park in Costa Rica - is a must-see stop when you are in Costa Rica. This park is in rainforest and extends onto the beach to a protected marine sanctuary.

	I don't know what to say - this picture leaves me speechless. But I am excited that I'm going to be owning beachfront property at the beach that this picture was taken at - Jaco Beach.

	Have I failed to mention the surfing in Costa Rica? Costa Rica is like a surfing mecca, with its Pacific coast beaches riddled with great surf spots. On my last visit out to Costa Rica, it was only 3 days but I HAD to surf while I was there. I surfed for 45 minutes - enough to quench my surfing thirst before we had to make it back to the airport.

Tiffany, Thank you for posting an article in this group. Those are gorgeous photos. No wonder Costa Rica is now the new destination for retirees!

Awesome photos!!! I hope you load these to the Yahoo group site for shared use. They're great!

Fantastic photos Tiffany. I was in Belize, Honduras and Nicaragua years ago and was a skip and a jump from Costa Rica. I hope to make it there some day.
