Costa Rica's Highlights!!!
The crown jewel of Costa Rica, the RIO CELESTE or the blue River, which flows between the Tenorio and
Miravalles Volcanoes, were its water changes from clear to a beautiful turquoise blue when it interacts with
volcanic sediment. The locals have a saying that goes:
ARENAL VOLCANO 1968 Eruption:
Cerro Arenal. It was home to farmers and ranchers who worked land along its base and even a short distance
up its slopes.
On
Monday July 29, 1968, at 7:30 AM the Arenal Volcano suddenly and violently erupted, blowing a huge hole
out of the mountainside. Its eruptions continued for several days and completely
buried over 15 square
kilometers
with rocks, lava, and ash. By the end, it had killed 87 people and buried 3 small villages: Tabacón,
Pueblo Nuevo and San Luís.
The eruptions affected a total of more than 232 square kilometers by damaging
the land’s crops, property, livestock, and forests.

Lago Cote, located just about 5km for the small town of Neuvo Arenal and the locals say that Lago Cote is
very mysterious.....In
September of 1971 a plane was taking pictures of Costa Rica every 17 seconds, when
it began to take pictures of
Lake Cote, A picture of a UFO entering the lake was taken by that plane. This
pictured has been scrutinized over and it cant be proven fake. Below is the picture taken and a day time

Costa Rica has so much to explore and do. From its many Volcano's to its beautiful rivers and
jungles.
The active Arenal Volcano sits magnificently towering over the town of La Fortuna. Lago
Arenal
with its many water sports and the outstanding Hanging Bridges, and Sky Tram & Zipline, are
just a few of the exciting things to do here. There is awesome surfing on the
Pacific Coast, as they
hold surfing competitions there like
The 2009 International Surfing Association (ISA) World Surfing
Games at Playa Hermosa and Jacó.
And on the Caribbean Coast you can enjoy the white sandy
beaches
and the crystal clear water.
