Costa Rica Lake Arenal Howler Monkeys

When you come to Lake Arenal  Costa Rica you are likely to be awakened by a very unusual alarm clock. Just before dawn you will hear a chorus of Howler monkeys that you might think came from King Kong, and can be heard for up to 3 miles. Named for their throaty howls, they are the largest of all the New World Monkeys and can grow up to 20 pounds and live up to 15 years. Feeding on leaves, fruit and flowers, troops of Howlers Generally howel at dawn and dusk to let other troops know where they are. Rarely descending from the trees the troops normally consist of 15 to 20 members and are visable all around the lake, sometimes coming very close to humans while feeding on trees in fruit.
These fantastic creatures truly add to the unique experience of Lake Arenal Costa Rica and contribute to the marvelous ambience that makes up this remarkable , one of a kind, region of Central America.

Costa Rica Lake Arenal - Birdwatching Paradise

For its relatively small size, Costa Ricas has recorded over 860 species of birds, with  over 60 National Parks and Reserves, it is a Birders Heaven. People come from all over the world to glimpse some of the exotic and rare birds, which are visible from the largest cities to the deepest parts of the Park jungles. To put this in perspective there are more bird species in Costa Rica than the U.S. and Canada combined.  Even more amazing, Costa Rica has more bird species than the continent of Africa. The birds can be found in a wide array of habitats, many in the dense canopy of the forests and often heard more than seen. There are many tours available for birdwatching and the Costa Rican Tourist Insttitue http://www.tourism.co.cr/  in San Jose can offer a wealth of information also.  So pack your binoculars, camaras, comfortable shoes and clothes and enjoy one of the great wildlife adventures of the world.

Lake Cote, Lake Arenal's Little Sister

Less than one mile north of The 50 square mile Lake Arenal and at a higher elevation sits LAKE COTE, a 3 square kilometer very, very deep heart shaped lake shrouded in mystery.

The mystery begins in 1989 when a plane being used by the Government of Costa Rica flying a mapping task with a high resolution camera mounted on the plane pointing downward programmed to take photos every 17 seconds. It shows in extraordinary detail all the features of the terrain, the lake, trees, topography and what appears to be a UFO which was determined by very careful study to be about 600 feet across and just entering the lake 10,000 feet below.
This photo has been studied and analyzed by experts from all over the world and there is simply no explanation due to double exposure or deliberate fabrication of this photo.
Due to this and the fact that the bottom of the lake had never been recorded by sonar or other means The famous French Diving pioneer Jaques Costeau mounted an expedition to explore the lake. What he found is what appears to be that Lake Cote is the chute of an extinct volcano which extends downward in a twisted tunnel making sonar unusable.
Because Lake Cote is at a higher elevation than Lake Arenal and the northern shore is all National Park with pure mountain rivers pouring into the lake, the Government decided to put a pipe to run this overflow which otherwise went north down the Cote River and send it into Lake Arenal through a small hydro electric plant, before entering Lake Arenal.
The entire southern part of the lake and the surrounding area was purchased by European immigrants to Costa Rica over 50 years ago {of course for almost nothing theses days} who eventually were assimilated into the Costa Rica family and culture. This land encompassed thousands of acres and as time passed some of it was sold here and there, one parcel of note now includes the famous eco hotel The Eco Lodge.
But saving the best for last, the decedents of the visionary original European owner have finally decided to give it up and sell the remainder, which includes all of the Lake Cote water frontage.



Lake Cote is one of the purest, most pristine, untouched lakes in all of Central America. Bounded on the north forever by the primeval National Park, which contains an encyclopedia of Central American flora and fauna as a backdrop for the several hundred acre remainder which the owners have entrusted me to sell.
The peace and the tranquility of this particular area are palpable. The lake exudes a deep appeasing calm that over comes your senses as you get closer to the shore. The lake is also full of fish including the Rainbow Bass and other fish which are not being fished at this time.
Part of the area surrounding the southern shore of the lake, which is for sale was once planted with hundreds of orange trees, which were left to go wild some years ago.
Lakefront property, only sold by the hectar {2.5 acres} is for sale at $200,000, with many of the parcels running from the public road on one side and the lake frontage on the other. This is truly spectacular one of a kind property and for more information please contact Terry Moran at moranrealestate@gmail.com
