great vacation in costa rica
Welcome to La Cusinga Lodge, a naturalists' heaven
on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica... ....a whole tropical experience. La Cusinga Lodge is a coastal rainforest ecolodge dedicated to marine and terrestrial conservation and environmental education. Its location on the southern Pacific coast provides guests with sweeping ocean views and a relaxing beach vacation. In addition La Cusinga is part of a private nature reserve that supplies the visitor with an unparalleled look at Costa Rican wildlife and rainforest. The reserve consists primarily of 250 hectares of virgin rainforest that borders thousands of more acres of privately protected forest. On Costa Rica 's still wild south-western Pacific coast, La Cusinga Lodge borders Ballena Marine National Park which was developed to protect the humpback whales that frequent the coast. La Cusinga Lodge was established in order to share the unique site with Costa Ricans as well as international visitors. Besides getting exposure to rural Costa Rican culture and beautiful vistas, visitors have access to highly prolific areas of primary tropical rainforest and unspoiled coast, all conveniently accessible. Activities La Cusinga maintains several trails that wind through the pristine protected rainforest and along the beautiful beaches. From three-hour treks through the forest to short walks down to the beach there are trails for all ages and abilities. On each trail the visitor is sure to get a glimpse of the diverse Costa Rican wildlife. Wildlife at La Cusinga is abundant and you will see many species that may include: morpho butterflies, tree frogs, ospreys, parrots, parakeets, toucans, howler monkeys, bottle-nosed dolphins, hawksbill turtles and the great humpback whale. Our local guides en joy accompanying guests of all ages & origins and showing them the most elusive creatures. In addition to hiking trails there are opportunities for snorkeling, surfing, fishing, dolphin and whale watching, horseback riding, sea kayaking, scuba diving and island and mangrove exploration. If you are interested in learning about the native Costa Rican culture there are fun and informative activities highlighting reforestation work, woodworking, furniture making, and tropical agriculture. Download the complet list of birds Commitment to Sustainability The commitment that La Cusinga lodge has to sustainable development and the community is evident throughout the lodge. The buildings are made from their own reforested woods, local materials, and are nestled in naturally harmonious settings. All black and grey waters have a septic treatment that assures that no pollution ends up in the forest, river or the ocean. All of their electricity is from solar and hydropower, and the sun heats all their water. All trails are done in a way that has the least impact on the surroundings and the least amount of erosion takes place. The food they serve is made from products from our own gardens, and local suppliers of organic products. All our waste is recycled, organic produce is used for compost and all other products are recycled or taken to the municipal waste disposal site. La Cusinga has been making a positive impact on the community since it's beginning. They hire local Costa Ricans who often stay for ten or more years. They are very active in the conservation of the park, humpback whales, the rain forest, beaches, and turtles. La Cusinga uses educational programs, such as speakers, seminars, and financial investment to conserve and preserve the surrounding resources and beauty. They host fun-days for the local schools, and make it an educational event for the students, professors and parents. Lastly, La Cusinga has been a voice for the community in the government concerning the preservation of humpback whales. Accommodations The private cabins at La Cusinga each have magnificent ocean views and contain 2-3 beds, hot water and comfortable breezy rooms. In addition there are cabins that large groups can rent out, with dorm style accommodations, hot water and ocean views. All the cabins and rooms are crafted from trees grown on the property and are decorated with all local crafts and arts. www.lacusingalodge.com |

Not necessarily. I watched a news program and a lot of Canadians have Costa Rica as their home away from home. Perhaps that's why the post.

So Costa Rica is properly a locale to be touted in rec.travel.usa-canada?
Is that what you are saying? If so, why not come out and say just that? And if Costa Rica, why not Malaysia? Australia? Italy? Spain? Mexico? China? Croatia? India? Indonesia? Fiji? Brazil? Thailand? Philippines? Please expound...eager ears await your profound words of guidance and wisdom. "Newb" wrote in message news:FoVqi.14569$fJ5.8603@pd7urf1no... X-No-Archive: Not necessarily.
