0 Comments

 
Costa Rica’s combination of volcanoes, tropical rainforests, and incredible wildlife make it one of the most biodiverse destinations in the world! Here are some reasons to make the visit as soon as possible:
Picture
Waterfall Gardens
Interested in scoping out some majestic waterfalls? Well, at La Paz Waterfall Gardens, you’ll find everything from exotic frogs and butterflies, to jaguars and spider monkeys…not to mention the garden’s five flowing waterfalls! There’s so much for wildlife and nature-lovers to admire here, that it’s considered a must-see for every first-time visitor.

Canopy Tours
Glide over Costa Rica’s lush and vibrant landscapes on an ever-popular canopy or zipline tour –an integral part of any Costa Rican trip. The concept began back in the 70's when scientists and students climbed and rappelled trees to discover the rainforest’s flora and fauna. Today, adventure enthusiasts participate in the activity just for fun!

Hot Springs
Naturally flowing hot springs is a widespread and popular attraction in Costa Rica. Here, you’ll find that they range in just about any size, shape and temperature imaginable, and are perfect for relaxing in after a long day or splashing around in with the kiddos!

National Parks
Want to do a little exploring of your own? Then, be sure to take advantage of some of Costa Rica’s famous national parks for some endless sightseeing opportunities. Here, you’ll have a chance to hike along dozens of nature trails and coastlines, and even get up-close-and-personal with rare birds, iguanas, playful monkeys, and more!

Volcanoes
Ever seen a volcano? Well, in Costa Rica, you can! With over 200 volcanic formations that date back almost 70 million years, these natural formations create the majestic setting Costa Rica is best known for. Today, just five are classified as active volcanoes, yet still remain a sight to see for many tourists.

Wildlife Refuges
Since Costa Rica is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and rare wildlife, the locals dedicate themselves to preserving and providing protection to those animals that are endangered or will be endangered in the future. There are also many wildlife sanctuaries that have on-site veterinarian clinics to care for the sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife. Many refuges are open to the public where you and your family can learn about these amazing efforts.

Eco-Friendly
Costa Rica’s ecotourism industry has grown drastically over the years, making it one of the “greenest” countries in the world. Since its efforts to protect and utilize its natural resources are a priority, you can rest assured knowing your tourism dollars will be going toward local sustainability projects to help preserve the culture of Costa Rica!

5 Reasons To Plan Your Destination Wedding in Mexico

4/30/2019

0 Comments

 
Charming hospitality, lively culture, and world-class beaches? There’s a whole ‘lot to love about a Mexico destination wedding!
Picture
Affordable
One of the biggest destination wedding myths we hear often is that it’s too expensive. However, with the traditional American wedding costing around $30,000, it's no wonder most people assume a wedding in a remote location would be more. Luckily, most properties in Mexico can hold a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception for you and your guests for as little as $15,000… which is significantly cheaper than your average wedding!
 
Customizable
Mexico is one of our most popular destinations for brides because of how flexible its wedding packages are. We partner with a variety of properties who value your uniqueness and creativity. That ocean pier ceremony you’ve been dreaming about? Done. The monogrammed dance floor and custom cocktail you requested? You’ve got it. The possibilities are endless.
 
All-Inclusive
Another reason why Mexico is great for destination weddings is the all-inclusiveness. Most properties include meals, drinks, entertainment, and some excursions during your stay, so everyone is taken care of all day and night. We also have a number of properties that offer free wedding packages, which include everything from a private ceremony location, to the cake and DJ.
 
Complimentary Add-Ons
How often do you hear the word “complimentary” associated with planning a wedding? Yeah, not so much. But in Mexico, it’s no surprise to see complimentary sky massages, champagne and strawberries, or private dinners thrown in as a way of saying “congrats” to the happy couple. We’ve even helped our brides and grooms get complimentary honeymoon nights as an added bonus.
 
Easy to Plan
Imagine having all the little details taken care of for you, as you watch your wedding dreams fall into place. That’s right! A destination wedding in Mexico isn’t as hard to plan as you think. In fact, we’ll work with you side-by-side to ensure your day runs as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’ll even introduce you to the onsite wedding coordinator to go over all the fun details like decorations, food, and seating arrangements, so everything’s covered before you get there. The best part? These services are complimentary when you book. Can’t say that about your average wedding, now can you?
 
Now do you understand why Mexico is our number one selling destination wedding?! It’s filled with great fun, great culture, and most of all, great people. For more information on planning your destination wedding with us, start here.
