Travel Tips?

[stepheni]

Hello,

I am planning on traveling to CR on vacation, but also to learn about different areas with a mind towards purchasing/renting a home for the winters/investment.

I would really appreciate any suggestions on best way to see and learn as much as possible during a trip., ie, should I make all arrangements before arriving, or wait and play by ear once there? Should I rent a car and explore myself, or find some good tours?

I think I will probably like the weather in the Central Valley best, but would like to also explore other areas.

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

I would suggest that the quickest learning experience for what you are seeking is George Lundquist’s tour on Retiring on your Social Security.

George is a man who is more than willing share his experiences and opinions about your objectives here in Costa Rica. See this link, http://www.costaricaretireonss.com/.

Also make certain you read Scott Oliver’s book that are available here on the site. This two pronged approach and study will serve you well in your quest!
