Caribbean South,
Puerto Viejo
The Southern Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is truly a wonderful place to visit with its laidback environs, spicy piquant food, and unique Afro-Caribbean culture. The heart and soul of the Caribbean Coast, this region with its rich flavors has become a tourist favorite for those who are looking to relax and have some fun in the sun. Step into Puerto Limon, the capital of Limon Province and you will be transported into a completely different world.
Most of the people here are of Afro-Caribbean decent and were brought either from Jamaica or other Caribbean Islands to help work on the railroads or in the banana plantations that still support and make up much of this provinces exports. If you tour Southern Limon today, you will find numerous banana plantations as bananas are now a major cash crop out here.
Head into any of the towns along Costa Ricas Southern Caribbean Coast and you will find yourself in what can only be described as mini Jamaica with reggae and calypso music being played in the streets, delicious Costa Rican Creole cooking aromas, and a mix of a Spanish English dialect that is spoken here. Welcoming strangers with open arms, these towns are an experience in themselves.
Inaccessible till only a couple of decades back, this region has enjoyed a tourist boom in the recent years with the construction of the Gupiles Highway in 1987 connecting Limon to the capital city of San Jose. Visit the gorgeous Cahuita National Park and Gandoca-Manzanillo Refuge, home to amazing coastal rainforests and stunning underwater marine life and coral reefs. For the avid surfer, a trip to this region would incomplete without staying over at Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, with its amazing beaches and home of the famed Salsa Brava. The prefect place to kickback and have a good time this town is a great place to stay in.
For those who are looking for a quieter time, there are plenty of remote areas in the region, where one can stay literally in the middle of the jungle and still just a few minutes away from the coast. These all inclusive resorts are great as they offer a tranquil haven to relax as there are no other tourist facilities in the immediate area.
WHY PURCHASE REAL ESTATE IN COSTA RICA?
An investment in Costa Rica is much more certain than an investment in California real estate was 30 years ago, and that is the comparison being made with land in Costa Rica. Costa Rica property values are at a point very similar to what was in California before the land boom on the USA coast. Those who purchased land in California back then, have accumulated great wealth through their earlier land investing. All evidence points to Costa Rica being at a very similar time for excellent land value appreciation.
*Costa Rica land value appreciation has earned 20% yearly or more.
*Lifestyle and infrastructure are excellent and affordable, causing the major Intel Corporation (as well as many other world leading companies) to choose Costa Rica for a major world base, after they had looked all over the western hemisphere.
*Costa Rica's current prosperity boom is being fueled by the emigration of affluent baby boomers from around the world, seeking their own piece of a tropical paradise.
*English is the 2nd language, spoken fluently by over half of the population.
*Costa Rica is much like a little Hawaii, with world class ocean beaches (by law, no private beachfront ownership allowed, so all may enjoy any of the ocean beachfront) with tropical forests, range land to mountainous terrain, pristne streams and waterfalls, volcanic topography, farming communities to major upscale resorts.
*Climate on average of 82F, making no need for expensive heating nor cooling systems.
*Costa Rica has all the modern conveniences and technologies of the USA, though with a very real feeling of being a world away, though only a 2 hour flight out of Miami.
*First-Class education system, boasting of a 96% literacy rate. The safest of all Central America countries, with only a border patrol, no military, as uses all such funds to put into education and social programs. Is a United Nations declared neutral country (as Switzerland).
*Overall very HIGH quality of life with a very low crime rate.
*Excellent, affordable medical care with an average lifespan of 80 years.
*The only democracy in Central America, (200 years of democratic government) with very close ties to the United States.
*A reputation well earned for hospitiable and friendly culture. Costa Ricans enjoy treating others with class and dignity, and is a basis of their culture.
*MORE AMERICAN RESIDENTS PER CAPITA THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY OUTSIDE THE USA!
*SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAND IN THE WORLD, affordable with very low taxes.
*Unlimited business opportunities with a government eager to attract foreign investors.
*Convenient location to the USA and Canada (2 hours from Miami), and chosen vacation and retirement spot by many Eureopeans, Canadians, and Americans.

- It seems kind of strange to me that they don't allow over seas bidders although the land they are selling is over seas.. Weird!!!!!
Posted 1 month agoReport - eBay is full of land scams. I don't know why people believe in people like mysidething - Lets face it, if it is to good to be true - then it probably is!
Posted 1 month agoReport - He also sells on A Goverment auction site
Posted 1 month agoReport - I am Michael Leu, USA Land Invest.com, Inc. and below is my attorney noting this person making this slander about me, and why he is uptight now, as he has committed a felony, and is being indicted in CRica and New Jersey for fraud in taking land in CRica from me.
I am Michael´s Attorney in Costa Rica.
Yes, we are submitting criminal charges against Alfredo Alfaro, Nick Cocoozas partner here, because he used a limited power of attorney to transfer illegally Michael´s properties in Jaco to one of their corporations.
I traveled to USA at the end of November last year to try to get a amicable settlement, but they didn´t even answer my phone calls. Civil and criminal courts in Costa Rica will determine they are crooks in this matter.
Due to professional relationship with Michael my client, I can not disclose more details at this time, though the lawsuit and criminal charges will be recorded at the National Registry in the near future.
Eloy Alfaro.
Attorney at Law
San Jose, Costa Rica
When a buyer is to build in CRica, a power of attorney is processed, allowing the buyer to get a survey, then a building permit... Alfredo Alfaro, and Nick Cocoozas (who listed this slander) used the power of attorney to steal more land than the acres they were allotted, and committed a felony both in CRica and the US...this CRica attorney has filed with a CRica federal prosecutor, where the above parties are now in the process of being indicted......Michael Leu flew the attorney to his home in Ohio, and this legal process is now in effect....the fraudulent buyer, in a panic attack knowing he will end up in prison, seems to have attempted an online statement to discredit Michael.
On Michael's auctions, are the links to view his legal ownership at the National Registry in CRica, being that federal govt. agency...stricter than the US, the federal govt. itself checks for clear ownership in Costa Rica, before will record....both criminal suits and civil suits are being filed by attorney Eloy Alfaro against the messenger of this slander. Thank you.
