the Valle de Él General. The city is clean, and you can find most any modern
convenience you desire. There are a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Delji Chicken,
and a host of tasty local cuisines to suit your hungry palate. An increasing
number of baby-boomers are discovering this hidden gem and are taking advantage
of the low cost real estate coupled with the conveniences of a larger city
as their relocation destination of choice.

crown jewel, Mt.
Chirripó. Bigger than life, it boasts the tallest mountain peak in Costa
Rica and the second highest in Central America at an elevation of 12,532'

Oceans. If refreshing mountains, rivers and valleys are your preferred views,

San Gerardo de Rivas about 45 minutes from Downtown San Isidro. There are
restaurants and numerous attractions on the road leading to Chirripó. The

Dominical Real Estate - A day at the beach
Playa Dominical
A gorgeous 45 minute drive from San Isidro is all it takes to get to
one of the most popular surfing beaches in the world. Tourist attractions
abound in and around Dominical. The Costanera highway from Dominical to
Uvita and Palmar Norte is probably the nicest, smoothest, best marked
highway in the entire country! Here is where the rain forest meets the
coast with extraordinary vistas. If you prefer to head north from Dominical,
you are 45 minutes from the most popular tourist attraction in all of
Costa Rica, Manual Antonio State Park - a favorite destination for both
locals and tourists alike. Real estate in the Dominical area is becoming
very popular, and when the Costanera highway is completed between Dominical
and Quepos/Manuel Antonio, prices will go through the roof. This will
be a very attractive and compelling area in which to invest for years
to come. (See Dominical area For Sale by Owner listings…)
Punta Uvita Real Estate - Ballena National Marine Park - The Whale's Tail
The Whale's Tail - Aptly named
Just a few miles south of Playa Dominical off the beautiful Costanera
highway you will find Ballena
National Marine Park, otherwise known as Punta Uvita. It's most famous
and prominent feature is the small strip of land called The Whale's Tail.
Many describe this area as a natural sanctuary housing the best of what
Costa Rica has to offer for those seeking peaceful harmony with the natural
wonders of the rain forest. Humpback whales migrate through this marine
reserve every year from August to October and from December to April.
The town boasts a hardware store, internet café, grocery store, and some
of the nicest, gentlest people on the face of this planet. If the peace
and serenity of Costa Rica are what you seek, while still located within
reasonable drive to San Isidro, then you'll want to check out the property
listings in and around the Uvita area. (See Uvita area For Sale by Owner
