Beautiful HD Video Of Costa Rica Wildlife

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:51:14 GMT

Note from Jim: I have not seen a live snake yet in my 15 years now of coming here, so a lot of this stuff is in the jungle/rain forest area, although there are coral snakes and rattlesnakes and some vipers in this area, but you really just don’t see them and they’re not an issue. We have seen most of the other wildlife, including a mountain lion, but no jaguars as they are very elusive and extremely rare in the NW Pacific area we are in, about an hour from the Nicaragua border.

It’s amazing what thousands of dollars worth of video equipment can do. Captured using a Red Epic cinema camera, a series of Canon lenses and a Freefly Movi stabilization system, this is Costa Rica wildlife like you’ve never seen it before. The video was posted to YouTube by Jacob and Katie Schwarz, and we’ve identified most of the creatures in the short film so you will know what you are looking at when you watch this over, and over, and over…

He is quite skilled and seems to have very good work crews. He can build a very fancy home for around $125 per sq. ft., or a standard home for around $90 per sq. ft

Back In The Frozen North

Imagine your own two bedroom two bath home, with a carport and large porch (people definitely spend most of their time outdoors in Costa Rica), on a 1¼ acre or larger lot for a total price of only about $135,000. That’s hard to beat for a home in paradise! On top of that, you’ll have plenty of room to grow your own fruits and veggies, as well as room to enjoy your favorite activities.

Now is the time to get yourself set up for a great retirement in a beautiful and peaceful country.

Costa Rica, A Great Place To Retire

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:49:22 GMT

Climate, cost of living, quality and availability of healthcare also enter the equation. You can choose your climate depending on elevation and other factors. The cost of living is about one third cheaper than most major US cities. Healthcare from English-speaking doctors is readily available. The size of the local expat community and the percentage of the local population that speaks English are also important factors. Check and check. Many US citizens have retired to Costa Rica, along with a few Canadians, Aussies and Brits. A large portion of the native population speak English as it is taught in the schools. You want to consider all of the things that make you comfortable in your surroundings, all of the details that makes it feel like home.

There are lists of the most economical places to retire, the most exciting, the most secure, and a myriad of others. As far as the world’s best climate, a lot depends on what you personally want. Some people thrive on sunshine and warmth, then there is the humid or dry question. Others want some snow in winter or four seasons. It’s a matter of taste. The world’s best climate is pretty subjective. But pretty much whatever climate you want, you can find it in Costa Rica.

Whatever your favorite hobbies or sports, they are available, too. There are even some new adventures awaiting you, as well as new friends to meet. Or you can enjoy the familiar surroundings of shopping malls, supermarkets, museums and restaurants. When so many authorities and trusted sources recommend Costa Rica as a good place to retire, shouldn’t you check it out?

Go Wild In Costa Rica

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:37:10 GMT

A pioneer of ecotourism, Costa Rica draws many tourists to its extensive national parks and protected areas. In the 2011 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index, Costa Rica ranked second among Latin American countries. It ranks third of sixty countries covered in the 2014 Global Green Economy Index. In the sustainable tourism category, Costa Rica is ranked first.

Plants and flowers may be of more interest to you. If so, be sure to look for the Guanacaste, or ear pod tree, due to the shape of its seed pods. It is the national tree of Costa Rica.

You will want to look out for parrot flowers, bamboo orchids, achiote and star fruit. You will be able to find most of these at a local market if you want to eat the fruits or take home the flowers. But seeing them in the tropical forest is amazing. It’s fun to see some old favorites in the wild, like ginger and cocoa. What a place!

Festivals – Costa Rica Real Estate

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 13:27:22 GMT

Few wear helmets or protective vests, and I’m sure the payout isn’t much for taking such a risk. Between riders you will see other young men run into the ring and tease the bulls, hoping to make it out quickly, lest they incur the bull’s wrath.

The festivals are a lot of fun, even if you choose not to watch the bull riding. It’s well worth it, with food/beverage vendor samples, arts and crafts vendors, music, rides and other activities.

Costa Rica, The Place To Be

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 11:37:39 GMT

For nearly 170 years Costa Rica has been among the most prosperous and stable nations in Latin America. You don’t read a lot in the news about the small Central American nation and that’s good. Since 1949 Costa Rica has had no standing army–the first among only a few countries in the world. No military coups here. Mexico has it’s drug lords, Guatemala its earthquakes and both have volcanoes, but Costa Ricans and ex-pats quietly enjoy their bit of paradise. No news is good news.

Costa Rica’s economy has been developing rapidly for the past several years. In addition to traditional agriculture, it now has ecotourism, pharmaceuticals, financial outsourcing, software development and finance. It is the only country to meet all five criteria established to measure environmental sustainability. Now that’s progressive! But if hunting game is your hobby, leave your rifles at home because recreational hunting is banned.

It’s nice to know that you are choosing to live in a country with a long life expectancy so you can enjoy the high standard of living among educated people. How do you know? Costa Rica scores high on the United Nations Human Development Index. The HDI is a measurement of life expectancy, education, literacy, standards of living and quality of life for countries around the world.

Among those quality of life factors, a good cup of locally grown coffee scores high. Costa Rica is famous for its gourmet coffee, Its Tarrazu arabica beans are among the finest in the world. While you sip, have a locally grown banana (a natural source of potassium). Bananas, pineapples and coffee are the three main cash crops. Contributing to a variety of agricultural abundance, there are several microclimates, allowing producers to grow tropical fruits and crops for temperate climates as well, like coffee.

Costa Rica holds presidential elections every four years, the latest in 2014. All elections have been widely regarded by the international community as peaceful and transparent. The citizens have enjoyed uninterrupted democracy since 1948. Similar to the US, Costa Rica has a strong system of constitutional checks and balances with executive, legislative and judicial branches.

The government offers tax exemptions for those willing to invest in the country. Costa Rica is highest in the region in attracting foreign direct investment. The Financial Times awarded Costa Rica as “Caribbean and Central American Country of the Future 2011/12” for this success. In 2007 voters endorsed a Free Trade Agreement.

Whether you are doing business or Skyping the grandchildren back in the USA, Costa Rica is in the Central Time Zone, so there are no intricate calculations to figure out if it’s too early or too late to call. That’s a huge advantage to math-challenged brains and family relations. It also means that you are in the same time zone as the office in Chicago or your broker in Dallas.

All these reasons–stability, growing economy, ecological responsibility, a high quality of life–make Costa Rica a great place to retire.

While Spanish is the official language, English is spoken by many people in Costa Rica–far more than in other Latin American nations. But if you want to learn Spanish, it is a great place for that. It will cost a little more than in nearby Guatemala, but the teachers are generally better educated also. If you decide to skip the Spanish lessons, you will find plenty of people who speak English to help you with whatever you are trying to do.

This makes for a better quality of life for everyone.

In fact, it is such a nice place to live that less than 3% of Costa Rica’s population lives abroad. The overwhelming majority of expatriate Ticos have settled in the United States after completing a university degree or in order to work in a highly skilled field. About 65% of the population live in cities, most of them in San Jose, the capital, which had 1.515 million people in 2011. There are 1.32 physicians/1,000 population and 1.2 hospital beds/1000. Hopefully you won’t need them, but it’s good to know that they are there. With over one million landline telephones and more than six million mobile phones, communication is no problem.

In addition to the consistently pleasant weather, there are loads of things to do in Costa Rica. You can hike the cloud forest or swing along rope and board bridge walkways in the rain forest at the level of tree branches. You’ll get a close up view of tree-dwelling wildlife. Or bum around the beach, surf and swim to your heart’s content. Or go out on a boat for some deep sea fishing and bring home a sailfish for your trophy wall. All this and more is waiting for you in the paradise known as Costa Rica.
