Explore The Costal Waters Of Costa Rica One Fin At A Time
If you're on the look out for some exceptional fishing, Costa Rica is your answer. Not only will you be sandwiched between the world-class fishing places of the Caribbean to the northeast plus the Pacific to the south and west, you will delight in some of the most excellent warmth in Latin American hospitality at Costa Rica small hotels or vacation rentals in one of the most welcoming and naturally rich countries throughout the world.
It's true. Whatever you may have come across in terms of troubles in some of the other countries of Central America, they won't bother you in a country coming at Number 3 from the top in the New Economic Foundation's Happy Planet Index.
Aptly, one of the premier deep sea fishing services and other tourist and visitor facilities - such as Costa Rica holiday inns and beachfront rentals - happens to be situated in town known as Los Suenos, or "place of dreams." You'll find that Los Suenos is as good a place to start one's discovery of a country which enjoys a hospitable climate all year-round, mildly heated by the equatorial sun then cooled as a result of the coastal winds (the lowest warmth acknowledged is approximately 50 degrees in the mountains, and the highest is around 80) as well as containing above one eighth of the globe's species of flora and fauna. Actually, apart from world-class deep-sea fishing, eco-tourism is the hottest pursuit among travelers to Costa Rica.
Although Spanish is the official language in Costa Rica, English is learned in almost all of the country's schools, and Ticos, as the natives refer to themselves, benefit from the high standard of teaching in addition to the best health care in the developing world. Costa Ricans know a degree of tranquillity and affluence virtually unknown elsewhere across the planet (despite - or maybe as a result of - not having had an on-call army since 1948). Subsequently, criminal activity and violence are thankfully uncommon - it is possible to stay in Costa Rica vacation rentals virtually anywhere in this green and friendly kingdom. Of course, you'll probably want to check out Costa Rican cabin rentals on the shoreline - although the inland is absolutely worth visiting, the most superior fishing is in the ocean.
The second plus to spending your vacation at beach rentals as opposed to holiday rentals including hotel accommodation is the fact that you'll usually find fully fitted kitchen facilities. So that, following your day in the deep waters, it is possible to return with your snag to your holiday dwelling and cook it to your liking - or persuade one of the local inhabitants to cook it up for you in the traditional manner (which after all, is the beauty of discovering any exotic land).
Besides fishing and eco-tours, you will discover a wealth of things to do and places to see in Costa Rica, which includes white water rafting, scuba diving, ATV tours and more. And although all year round is a good time to travel to this tropical paradise, the top time (not to mention the most economical) is during what the Ticos call the "Green Season," which is October through to early November.
