The Springs Resort Opens New Luxury Aracari Building

There are two types of travelers: those that visit a place once and those that return again and again. I was the former, until Arenal Volcano.

6 Reasons To Add Monteverde To Your Bucket List

The Monteverde Cloud Forest, a cool misty forest shrouded in greenery, has a truly majestic quality about it. Without a beach or volcano, it’s an easy destination to overlook, despite all its charismatic nuances. I confess I did. But now that I’ve walked through cloud 9, I’m hooked. And I feel compelled to set the record straight. I. […]
