Life in Costa Rica is like nothing you've ever experienced before. From watching the amazing scarlet macaws fly overhead to the surreal sound of Costa Rica's unique Congo monkey, also known as the howler monkey. This small Latin American country boasts almost 6% of the world's biodiversity including many new species discoveries.
From the moment you step off the plane, you realize, you are somewhere special. In Costa Rica's jungles and beaches, you can lose yourself in this blissful paradise and forget all your worries. No more car horns, screaming people, terrorism alerts and cell phones. Just pure relaxation while listening to the soothing sounds of the waves of the South Pacific while they lap the shoreline. Unlike many other popular tourist destinations, in Costa Rica you can still wonder down a beach for hours without ever seeing a soul. Just miles of white sandy beach lined with coconut filled palms.
How relaxed is Costa Rica you wonder? Well put it this way...where else can someone like Mel Gibson, land his private helicopter on a beach to have a shot of his own (BYOB) Mexican tequila in a bar filled with locals? Dominical is where.
A couple years back when Mel Gibson was still shopping for his dream getaway in Costa Rica, he landed his helicopter on Dominical beach where he then decided to go to the local bar where he could sit and have a drink in peace. Of course being polite enough to ask the local barkeep if he could bring in his own special blend tequila from Mexico.
And when Britney Spears gets a little worked up and her life becomes a bit too much for her to bare: she escapes to Costa Rica also.
Some famous names in American royalty who have interests in Costa Rica include Justin Timberlake, Pink, Gisselle and Tom Brady, Steven Segal, Susan Sarandan, Tim Robbins, Jessica Alba, Cameron Diaz and of course Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
So what is the draw? Better yet why don't you experience it for yourself and come visit Costa Rica.
