The Secret is Out About Costarica

When tourists find a place that is unspoiled and virtually untouched, inexpensive and variet in its attractions, there is a brief honeymoon period.  Those “in the know,” so to speak, are able to avail themselves of the pleasures found in a place in relative solitude.  However, this does not last long.  In just a few short years, places like costarica have gone from quiet oases of calm and beauty to chic, bustling tourist destinations.  While this trend is not exclusively negative, it does mean that locals need to take intentional steps to preserve their culture.  The time is now, for once it has been buried under commercialism, it will be difficult to excavate.
