Costa Rica has been ranked among the 10 favorite destinations of the world by Forbes in several articles. Costa Rica shares credits with the Red Sea, the Bahamas, Egipt, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, France, Mexico and Chile. The ranking is based in three categories: luxury adventure, honey moon trips and summer vacation trips. More and more Costa Rica is attracting a very select clientele who usually comes first as a tourist and secondly in a property tour searching for that unique piece of paradise, either as an investment opportunity or as a second home for vacationing and relax. Living in Costa Rica has become not only a new destination but a new way of life for the high end owner. Swimming with dolphins, admiring beautiful sunsets with monkeys as your guests, watching gigantic crocodiles under the bridge, hanging in the Canopy from one tree to the other at 100 feet altitude as in the best Tarzan movie, having thermal waters in your pool or taking a shot in the dark, like if you were trying to reach the sky… is no longer a dream but a way of life for many rich and famous who have chosen Costa Rica as their new second home to get away from stress and ordinary life.

Costa Rica, with only 51,000 km2 of extension, is an exotic destination that offers, within such a small territory, abundant doses of adrenaline and a large variety of adventure sports to satisfy the most discriminating taste. A second home ownership in Costa Rica offers much more than a small piece of land with a house on top of it. Costa Rica has so much to offer outside of your front yard that you can hardly wait for the sunrise to start a new day of adventure in this little tropical paradise of the Central American region.
