[quote=”baontheriver”][quote=”Logsdon”][quote=”larrythehat”][quote=”Logsdon”]My wife and I have looked almost all over the world for that perfect retirement place. We’re trying to plan a visit to Costa Rica, but would like to find a great tour group to see possible areas. Does anyone know of a good, reputable, reasonably priced group?[/quote]
If you are looking for somewhere “perfect”, Costa Rica is not for you.[/quote]Perfect is, of course, relative. We’re looking for what fits us “perfectly” That may not be perfect for you. I’ll wait to find that perfect place when my pulse reaches Zero.[/quote]
Love your attitude and it is right on target! We have not traveled the world like you have but chose Costa Rica because of the environment. We enjoy House Hunters International but we always are pleased we selected Costa Rica. Most group tours have an agenda and a favorite area. We have traveled most of Costa Rica except the east coast and chose an area in the southern pacific side. We did not want to live in a cage so we stayed away from the big cities. Everything depends on what “You Want” and need. If you need future medical assistance then stay near a good hospital but most doctors actually make house calls. If you want to be on the beach stay away from the big towns and there are plenty of incredible locations. Just don’t get to far away from a town for supplies. We live in an area around 1600 feet (500 meters) above sea level so we don’t need air conditioning. Fresh air is always the best! The water here is also the best if you like fresh spring water without all of the chemicals.
With all of that said, I can reccomend a couple of tour guides that have no agenda except to show you this incredible country. It all depends on your likes and dislikes and what you are looking for. If you are interested just let me know and I will give you their email addresses so you can talk to them direct. It is best that you interview them yourself so you can get a feel for them. I hope that you choose Costa Rica and love it as much as we do! Good Luck![/quote]
My quick question:- is it better to rent for 6 months or buy in Costa Rica?
