These tours offer fun and adventure along rural roads, as well as enjoying the tropic’s diverse flora and fauna. The routes will facilitate contact with locals and attractions such as volcanoes, beaches, national parks and more.

Costa Rica is about the size of West Virgina but it packs alot of diversity within its borders, from the high flat plains of ranch country to the many coves and beaches of the coast to the majestic volcanic mountain chain that runs through the heart of the country. The biodiversity is astounding, with many unique flora and fauna found in each of these environments. Off-road adventure tours allow you to be a part of all that Costa Rica has to offer from the safety of your perch aboard the adventure truck.

The undisputed winner for this exciting journey is the Land Rover Defender with its powerful 2500 CC turbo diesel engine. With over 175 horsepower this car can overcome any obstacles that may arise during the course of our adventures. With all this power below you, the experience aboard a Land Rover Defender’s platform is unique in the central american region. In addition to its already exceptional qualities improvements specific to the demands of the diverse terrain of Costa Rica were made to its safety and performance:

• Improved the original suspension
• Changed the tires for better adaptation to tropical extreme off-road conditions
• Mounted an ARB hydraulic differential imported from Australia
• Added ten Bosch halogens imported from Sweden to improve vision during night travel
• Installed a Warn winch that allows us to overcome any incongruous situation
• Mounted ergonomic rally bucket seats with four points seat belts to maximize your safety during our adventures

Tours can be modified by your taste and desires. Choose from half day, one day or two-day tours.

…..nothing will.

Climb aboard the gyrocopter for a ride that you won’t soon forget. Get a bird’s eye view of Costa Rica by air, skimming above the waves and experiencing the magnificent beauty of the Gold Coast.

Look up and you’ll see the majestic volcanic mountains that slope dramatically down to the many coves and bays that make up the coastline. Look down - if you dare - and you may spy schools of tropical fish, sea turtles, manta rays, sharks, dolphins and whales.

Your ultra-lite journey begins at the Tamarindo airport and travels overland to Flamingo Beach where you’ll circle over its white sands and the Bay of Potrero. The pilot will then turn back south and cruise along the coast to give you close-up views of the beautiful beaches of Playa Conchal and Playa Las Piratas.

From there you’ll enter the air-space over the huge, untouched mangrove fields of Playa Grande, the home to many exotic birds and crocodiles. Our pilot will then fly a low level course along Playa Grande so you can experience its famous surf in a way surfers never can - you’ll stay dry. From there the gyrocopter turns back inland to deposit you safely and sound at the Tamarindo airport.

You may be left breathless from your flight over the stunningly beautiful countryside, majestic mountains, miles of tropical secluded beaches and the cobalt blue Pacific Ocean, but the journey is worth it.

Taking an ultra-lite flight over Costa Rica is truly the experience of a lifetime. There is simply no better way to encounter the exotic diversity of the north Pacific coast.

All pilots are certified with the local aviation authorities and are highly trained.

Flights can be custom tailored to your desires.

The people have spoken and Costa Rica is still one of the best places for getting away from it all, according to Trip Advisor, a popular website based on real travelers and their experiences throughout the world.

The spectacular diversity of Costa Rica and the people’s desire to maintain its natural wonders have consistantly made Costa Rica one of the best places to visit. Its proximity to the United States (only a 2 hour flight from Miami), its stable government and its growing infrastructure of services add to its appeal. Prices in the area are still below comparable places in other destinations, making Costa Rica a good choice for the budget conscious.

The surprising winner in Costa Rica was the city of Santa Cruz, also known as the Folklore City, which is the county seat for the Guanacaste region and also the name of the canton which encompasses many of the popular beaches in the Pacific northwest of Costa Rica. In fact, while the city itself was named by Trip Advisor, the activities and hotels listed are spread throughout the region, which means the canton of Santa Cruz is really the big winner. This district includes some of the most popular beaches in all of Costa Rica, including Flamingo, Potrero, Conchal, Grande and Tamarindo.

Santa Teresa, a beach town in the middle of Costa Rica’s long Pacific coast, took the top spot as the best Beach & Sun destination in Central & South America and placed in the Top 10 for Relaxation & Spa. Puerto Viejo, on the Caribbean side also made the Top 10 for Best Beach & Sun and snagged a place in the Top 10 Outdoor & Adventure category, too. Samara on the Pacific coast and another hotspot for surfers, also placed in the Beach & Sun category.

Tamarindo was chosen as a Top 25 in Central & South America for its diversity of activities, shops and restaurants and its famous surfing beach. Conchal, home to the outstanding Reserva Conchal Golf Resort, was named in the Top 10 for Relaxation & Spa in Central & South America.

Manuel Antonio Park, a perennial favorite, was also in the Top 25 for Central and South America and placed in the Top 10 in the Beach & Sun and Relaxation & Spa categories. Arenal National Park, the country’s most famous active volcano, grabbed a Top 10 place for Outdoor & Adventure as well as the #1 spot in Relaxation & Spa for its many natural hotsprings.

February 1, 2010 - After a tense win over Canada on Saturday, Costa Rica’s under-20 women’s soccer team will be heading to the World Cup tournament in Germany in July.

It’s the first time in the tournament’s six year history that Costa Rican has qualified and they had to beat out two-time champion Canada to do it. Only Mexico and United States from the North American, Caribbean and Central American league (CONCACAF) will accompany Costa Rica to the tournament.

Costa Rica grabbed the 1-0 win over Canada with a free kick taken by Katherine Alvarado in the 19 th minute. The Tica lofted the ball over the head of Canadian keeper Cynthia LeBlanc from 35 meters out. Despite strong pressure from the Canadians throughout the game, they weren’t able to sneak the ball passed Costa Rican keeper Priscilla Tapia.

The game came at the end of a 16-game playoff tournament in Guatemala, in which Costa Rica came in third.  Final tallies from the qualifying matches place Costa Rica’s Raquel Cedeño as the top scorer (with 10 goals), followed closely by two players from Trinidad and Tobago.

The women’s under-20 team is not the only Tico youth team to experience success on the international stage. The men’s U-20 team advanced to the World Cup finals in Egypt in October, and managed to hold the Brazilian soccer powerhouse to a 0-1 game.

Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, retirement, family reunion or birthday, Lent Eckhart Properties wants your special event to be everything you could hope it to be — and have everything go smoothly so you can enjoy every moment.
