There are three ways to see the properties
Our 4 day "Discovery Property Tour" (most popular), Our 3 day, 2 night "anytime" property visit to our guest house (most flexible dates) and our 10 day escorted country and property tour.
Demand is high for our tours and our guest house. In order to ensure availability, check with us before making your travel arrangements to Costa Rica. We'll coordinate around your schedule and suggest your flight arrangements accordingly. In all cases you want to fly into the San Jose, Costa Rica airport (SJO airport code), not the airport in Liberia, Costa Rica. Our area of the country is a 3 hour drive from San Jose or a short 25 minute commuter flight. We are in an area with rising elevation and good views go hand in hand with steeper terrain. If you have trouble walking or getting about, you might not be a good candidate for our property tours. We do not sell ocean front property. Ocean front property is not for sale in Costa Rica and throughout the country, all beaches are public. See our release of liability before signing up for any of our tours.

Our 4 day Discovery tours include all lodging, meals and transportation within Costa Rica other than meals on the day your arrival.

While at the guest house, we include everything; all transportation, lodging, meals and beverages (beer and wine included). Meals feature fresh local seafood, fresh meats, gourmet salads and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. We'll tour our developments and see houses we've built, houses currently under construction and available home sites and lots. Discovery tours are $250 per person. You are responsible for your airfare to San Jose. The first step to set up a visit is to complete the Client Visit Application. There are NO SALES PRESENTATIONS.

3 day, 2 night Guest House Visit Itinerary Click the link for a complete description
Our 3 day, 2 night "anytime" property tours run nearly every week except during the month of October when we close the guest house for maintenance. Tour dates are flexible depending on demand. Contact us with your dates and we'll see what we can do to accommodate you. You'll need to arrive in Costa Rica the day before the tour to allow ample time to reach our property. On these tours you'll be taking a commuter flight (at your expense) down to Palmar Sur where our staff will be waiting for you or driving (we will provide directions to the guest house). Due to the high demand at our guest house you must contact us prior to booking your international flights to ensure we have space available at the guest house. We'll coordinate around your schedule and suggest your flight arrangements accordingly.
We charge $500 per couple ($250 per person) to visit the guest house but if you purchase any of our home sites on the trip, the entire fee is applied directly to the purchase price and we also give you $1000 credit toward the cost of your airfare. As in any of our tours, we offer a 5% discount for cash purchases but offer full financing if you prefer. We'll take care of making your reservations at a hotel in San Jose on the day of your arrival and also book the scenic commuter flight down to our local airport, where we will pick you up. We'll return you to that airport for the flight back to San Jose. The flight leaves in the morning and is one of the most scenic flights you will ever be on. Likewise if you'd prefer to rent a car and drive down, we'll work with you on booking the car and make recommendations on what company to use. We'll also provide you driving directions down to our guest house.

10 day escorted country and property tour Click the link for a complete description
Our 10 day escorted Costa Rica country and property tours will no longer be offered now that the new highways make it possilbe to reach our properties in 3 hours. We are working to remove this page from the website. We have left the page up in the meantime since many of our clients have chosen to duplicate our tour itinerary and we have all the hotels and attractions shown with hyperlinks to those individual locations. We limit the tours to a small group and we provide all transportation except international airfare to San Jose. We visit a variety of destinations on the tour including 2 days at our developments. The tour gives a good overview of the country. We visit some of the more popular destinations within Costa Rica, national parks, waterfalls, volcanoes, beachs as well as a visit to our property. Each tour is different but click the link above to view a sample itinerary. Our next 10 day country and property tour is scheduled for May 4-13. The cost to join the tour is $2000 per couple, double occupancy, and includes all lodging and ground transportation using Toyota 4Runners (4 people per vehicle). Singles with their own room pay a $1500. Some of the hotels we stay at include breakfast and we also include all meals and beverages while at our guest house. Park and activity fees are included in the price of the tour. You are responsible for the cost of meals not provided and any "optional" activities such as sport fishing. . We credit you $1500 toward the purchase price of any property purchased in our development if you buy, to offset the cost of the tour (limit of one credit per purchase). We have a great time on these tours and see many parts of the country. There are NO SALES PRESENTATIONS.

One important note I should mention is about the size of our project, demand to visit and the limitations of our staff. We are not a 40 hectare project that you can visit it a half hour. Our developments cover over 3200 acres, in 15 phases. We regularly turn away people who call us last minute and want to "stop by". Our guest house staff works very hard and we are very busy at this time of year, especially with the holidays. Since our project requires a lot of time to fully view and understand, it is helpful to give us as much notice as possible so that we can prepare for your arrival and have a Property Guide available. We suggest you allow adequate time for a visit and point out that if you contact us at the last minute for a tour, we may not be able to accommodate you. The best ways to see the property are listed above. Here's your chance to come and visit us before the rest of the world shows up.... You should also be in reasonable health and not have issues with normal mobility, stairs, etc.
