Costa Rica GPS – hiking and car routing – Nicaragua?
Author: admin
What Costa Rica GPS and or Nicaragua GPS will give me both hiking and car routes for use in my Garmin Nuvi? I also want to come back and look at the map on my PC. So please don’t tell me about an expensive car rental GPS.
The only company out there is this one – they are a GREEN company – their site is hosted with 100% solar energy!
They have an amazing Costa Rica and Nicaragua GPS map that you can download in minutes and put on any Garmin not just your Nuvi. I used my Garmin 60csx. The best part about these maps are that you can see them on your PC and plan your routes. Go to www.gpstravelmaps.com and click on GPS Maps . Watch this video that they put together from their travels in Costa Rica. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtKfCLeBXlk
A coworker of mine really wants to start a Starbucks in Costa Rica or other business like a Panda Express there or maybe another country. Does anyone know where i may be able to find some information for him? Please and Thank you.
Unfortunately, you cannot buy a Starbucks franchise since they do not sell franchises. All Starbucks stores are company owned and operated. However, if you have the ambition and energy to consider getting up and serving coffee before dawn, you should definitely follow your plans to start a business of your own.
An underserved market in Internet consulting has emerged in the last few years, and many companies including WSI are offering Internet services franchise opportunities.

Samara Language School teaches intensive Spanish classes in a beautiful Pacific Coast setting. We offer classes to students from all over the world in an intensive program, where you will enjoy a true cultural immersion experience in a rural Costa Rican beach town. You will learn to speak Spanish in one of the most scenic spots in the country, while you discover Costa Rican warmth and hospitality at its best.
The School is located in custom-built facilities right on the beach! Classes are held in comfortable, air conditioned rooms, each with a view of the ocean. Study areas also include our tropical gardens, the open-sided “rancho” under the palm trees, and the beach itself, providing an ideal spot for learning Spanish at the beach. Each classroom is equipped with standard audiovisual equipment, whiteboard, and a large communal study space encouraging didactic activities and easy participation. Hammocks provide for relaxation time outside of class.
Classes begin every Monday. We have a total of 12 levels, followed by 6 levels of specialized courses, and all are taught entirely in Spanish, using the Communicative Approach as the basis for instruction. Groups are small (maximum 6 people, average 4) and allow for much participation and student interaction. Classes are held in the mornings or afternoons, alternating in the green season so that everyone has a chance to enjoy the sunny mornings! Each week students complete one level, moving up in weekly units through the comprehensive program. Our professors are university qualified and credentialed to teach Spanish as a second language. They have all been certified by our Professional Development Training Program, and regularly participate in ongoing seminars in Costa Rica and abroad, both in Costa Rican and abroad, in order to remain abreast of current methodology trends and teaching concepts.
Students have three choices for accommodations. They may either live with a Costa Rican family or stay in the luxury hotel connected to the school or in Student Residence..
For the Students we organize the following activities:
Latin dance classes
Latin music and cooking classes
Spanish film night
Lectures/’tertulias’
Graduation Parties
‘Intercambios’ with local students
Tours to national parks, turtle refuge, beaches, and more

Hotel Casa Marbella – Mal Pais, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Author: admin
Welcome to Casa MarBella Hotel Mal Pais Costa Rica. Experience the unprecedented beauty of local scenery at Hotel Casa Marbella Malpais, Costa Rica.
Comfortable ambiance in the midst of the Costa Rica tropics. Hotel Casa Marbella is a boutique hotel in Malpais Costa Rica, centrally located in Santa Teresa across the street from the beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean of Costa Rica.
Surrounding Area
Santa Teresa/Mal Pais Area
The towns of Santa Teresa and Mal Pais sort of blend together as one. There is only one main road that runs along the coast and for the first time it can be a bit confusing.
However, when most people say Mal Pais, they are referring to the Mal Pais/Santa Teresa area in general and use them interchangeably.
Santa Teresa is located in the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in the Guanacaste region. It is characterized by broad, white sand beaches with picturesque backdrops around every corner and dramatic sunsets.
This area enjoys warm and clear water with world class waves available. The beach combing here is second to none. At lower tides you can find numerous tide pools hidden along the rock outcroppings complete with colorful tropical fish.
As you walk through town you will most likely encounter howler monkeys, iguanas, green parrots, red squirrels and birds of all types.
Once here, it is easy to see why these beaches were named the Top Ten Most Pristine Beaches in the World by Forbes magazine. It has earned the prestigious Bandera Azul (Blue Flag) ranking which is awarded to clean, ecologically friendly areas by the government.
Besides the natural scenic beauty, there are a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops making it a destination that has something for everyone. People from all over the world have all become neighbors and business owners in this little slice of Costa Rica.
