Have you heard about the
Promised Land? Everlasting
sources of clean, pure water,
flora that never withers, people
who always smile... and everything
is for sale!

Costa Rica is that Promised Land, featuring a legislation that is
never strict before money! People
are never too busy to take care
of your interests. They have no kinship...but you!

Oh what is that? A dollar? An Euro?
Very WELCOME!!! Come to know our
natural diversity and stay at the Hilton. We were in sheer paradise if we had a Starbucks!

Come,spend,buy,enjoy!
