Lake Arenal Costa Rica Canopy Zip Lines


 

Now that you have been relaxed taking a calm, peaceful, tranquil Kayak Tour on the Lake it is time to get some adreneline going and your heart pumping.

For this we recommend our friends at Sky Tram Sky Trek for the ultimate Canopy Zip Line ride of your life. They are located on the south eastern coast of the Lake very close, and with breath taking views of the Volcano and the Lake.
You will never be closer to feeling like a bird, flying through the canopy at up to 50 miles an hour over 100 feet in the air, zig zagging through the jungle like Tarzan on steroids. They also have an aerial Tram for those that don't wish the more exciting Zip Line experience which slowly ascends the Jungle Canopy to a outlook that is spectacular.  You will see Costa Rica, Lake Arenal and the Volcano from a perspective you had no idea existed and this exciting experience will be with you until the day you die.  Very few ventures will leave you with such an intoxicating glow, so hook up, hang on and fly like the wind.

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.

An Incredible True Story, of a Dream, Trust, Teamwork, Achievement, Happiness and Gratitude








Over one year ago a Doctor from Chicago surfing the web for information on Real Estate In Costa Rica came upon our web site  moranlakearenal.com and was enthralled by what he saw. We began to correspond, him doing his due dilligence asking a million questions, especially since he had never been to Costa Rica. The real estate questions I answered as completely and thoroughly as possible. When the questions regarded legal I introduced him to our super attorney Gonzalo Viquez (Junior), for construction to Luc Charette. All responded quickly and efficiently to his every inquiry. He was drawn to the Real Estate development Turtle Cove Yacht Club. He asked my opinion as to what lot I thought was the best buy. I responded and he bought it cash sight unseen.
He then asked Luc Charette to recommend an architect to design a home for the lot. Luc gave him a name and a plan was created, with Luc,s input about the site, topography and the views. The Doctor approved the plans and construction commenced. He had still never come to Costa Rica. As the construction progressed Luc would send him regular photos and comments, questions about the construction. He would call me regularly to ask my opinion about colors, tiles, windows. The house was completed just a  month ago and is now being furnished by Luc. The Doctor has still to this day never stepped foot on Costa Rica and I would like to include an e mail I just received from him today as a testament to our team work, trust and professionalism.

Hi Terry, Just wanted to let you know how much I like the house, and how much I appreciate all the help you and Luc and Jr. have been. I am just starting to work with Luc on the furniture and look forward to seeing it finished. But most of all I want to say thank you and wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Talk to you in 2010. Regards, John

The Preserve At Lake Arenal











Several years ago 2 young developers  from the United States fell in love with Lake Arenal's beauty and walked into our office with a vision. A very specific vision. Could we find a parcel of land for them with spectacular lake and volcano views, rivers, easy access, close to the National Park and plenty of jungle, primary forest and all the flora and fawna that went with it. Tall Order, but with our extensive knowledge of the land around the lake a parcel popped into mind right away, and thus began Lake Arenal's first  truly ecologically sensitive development. These two men had a dream, an  inspiration, to blend human habitation together with the land with a minimum effect on the environment. After years of careful planning The 85 acres that has become just 46 lots has become a reality. Four rivers intersect the property, lots of primary jungle, tremendous views and the easiest terms in Costa Rica. With s little as a couple of thousand dollars down they will finance the balance for up to 15 years, you can become a Costa Rican landowner, and some great people have seen the dream and wanted to be part of it.

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.
