Robert Beatham - Paradise Garden Tour, Rio Claro, Costa Rica
I took 12 people to visit and learn from a true master of Costa Rican plants and remedies. We spent 3 hours walking the garden, and learning about plants, food and medicinal! Robert is 82 years old and such a wise man! I have been visiting him for over 12 years, and every time, I learn something new!

They turned out great!

This 2 Bedroom Home With River and Waterfall Access Has Just Been Reduced To $174,500!!!!
Dominical Real Estate at:
Price: $174,500
This property is part of Seabreeze Farms, a 200 acre conservation / residential project in the Lagunas Valley with access from Hatillo and Dominical. It has 2 acres of usable flat space that would make an excellent site for an eco-lodge or jungle cabinas. One of the boarders is an all year creek and right across the street is the nicest swimming hole in the valley. The property has access to a 90 acre private nature reserve full of wildlife including white-face monkeys and many tropical birds!!
The house has 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms and was recently built. The kitchen has all custom cabinets and brand new stainless steel appliances. There is also a laundry room. The home has a great feel to it. It barely uses up any of the flat land on this property so there is tons of rom to expand for someone that wants some cabinas or another home. That still leaves plenty of room for a garden. They have already planted plenty of fruit trees. This is really great property for someone that loves nature and rivers and wants to really experience Costa Rica!!
Costa Rica: Golfito, Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge
Travel to Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is located in La Osa Peninsula in the southern corner of Costa Rica close to the border of Panama.
To get to the lodge you have to leave the mainland behind and venture out on the open waters to the secluded hotel.
What awaits is miles and miles of untouched rainforest and beaches.
Here, the rainforest greets you at the water's edge.
The long pier to the hotel welcomes the traveler being the only access point to this eco friendly rainforest lodge.
One does not feel overwhelmed by tourists here. Only a hand full of cabins are available at one given time, allowing the traveler to reconnect with the beauty of the land and ocean.
The cabins are personalized with names instead of numbers.
Built for the entire family or private couples, these cabins are secluded within the rainforest. Here, the objective is to reconnect with nature. Screened windows and ceiling fans keep the couples cool throughout the journey.
Rinse off in the open aired showers. Its like showering underneath your own little waterfall amongst the canopy and trees.
Leave the world behind. Curl up with a good book in one of the abundant hammocks located at the lodge. Reconnect with one another by means of entertainment from the past.
Enjoy a meal together with no distractions.
Playa Nicuesa is nestled within the 165 acre preserve. Here you travel at your own pace.
A popular tour offered by the hotel, takes you on a journey through the sea where hundreds of dolphins swim about the boat, as if we were one of them.
Glistening from the water and sun, watching them dance and glide in the ocean is a thing of beauty.
Kayak through the estuary, where salt and fresh waters meet, allowing for ideal conditions for mangroves to blossom.
60 percent of the human population live long estuaries and the coast, but here, one will only find beautiful blue waters, unaffected jungle and a various range of exotic and colorful wildlife.
Scarlet Macaws, caiman crocodiles and different species of boa constrictors are rich and plentiful throughout the region allowing travelers to get a glimpse of nature that is just not possible in other places.
River inlets provide kayakers to experience Jurassic Park like surroundings of the rainforest. Ferns demand attention here as they dominate the the edge of the river.
After a day of adventure on the waters at the Osa Peninsula, relax within the seclusion of the beaches and rainforest.
This rainforest lodge is known for its small carbon footprint and eco friendly attempts to sustain a 5 star quality lodge, while operating off the grid of fossil fuels.
The botanical gardens allow the lodge to live off the land. Offering fresh tropical fruits, along with vegetables and fresh caught fish.
The food here is exquisite. The botanical gardens offers fresh squeezed juices, organic foods and homemade salsa, you will enjoy a taste of Costa Rica that only encompasses this peninsula.
The electricity that is used runs off of biodiesel fuel that is brought in from the mainland.
In your spare time explore the various beaches, coves and caves that are dotted along the coastline.
Fish right off the pier. Fish fries are common here and the staff is always eager to help.
Or wind down with your own personal yoga instructor right by the ocean.
The rolling of the clouds within the trees, the sound of the rocks rasping within the waves at the beaches edge and the color of the vegetation from exotic green to the deep blue color of the sea, portraits a beach paradise that is exclusive only to the Osa Peninsula.
So what is Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge? It is a lodge where one can reconnect with nature, explore the pristine rainforest, catch exotic views of jungle wildlife, ride alongside pods of dolphins, relax on the cozy grounds of the hotel, explore the botanical gardens, and unwind at the beaches edge, with the knowledge of this Rainforest lodge's small carbon footprint, its efforts to live off the land while caring for the wildlife around them.

Costa Rica Nature Tour by Toursgallery
Way back in 1996, in the days when I captured everything on colour slides, I escorted our first small group nature tour around Costa Rica.
So rather than letting the slides fade away in storage, I converted them to digital images and Anna Osetroff turned them into this video for me.
Destination Management Toursgallery has , since those early days, created and operated several small group escorted tours of Costa Rica and our next departure will be in June 2017. See more of our Costa Rica 2012 Tour photos on facebook.com/Toursgallery
If you want to see some truly amazing birds, wildlife, orchids, bromeliads and other epiphytes. Look on the website toursgallery.com or send an email to Ken at travel@toursgallery.com or in Australia phone 1300 307 317 for info about how you can join our next tour. Bird watching sightings should include numerous hummingbirds, macaw, toucan, trogon, tinamou, bittern, vulture, quetzal, caracara, roseate spoonbill and woodpecker. On our previous tours we had excellent sightings of Baird's Tapir, Agouti, various monkeys and even a Boa Constrictor.
