Welcome to our Special Vacations section.  Owned and operated by me, Christopher Howard, a best-selling travel writer and authority on living, retiring and traveling to Costa Rica.

Many people know Costa Rica for its incredible beaches, wildlife, and exotic flora and fauna. But what the insiders know is that there are many reasons to visit Costa Rica, in addition to these tourist attractions. Affordable health and dental care, world-class cosmetic surgery, budget living retiring, golfing and sport fishing are among the "hidden gems" that Costa Rica has to offer. We specialize in arranging these types of vacations. You may even combine one of our HIGHLY popular RETIREMENT RELOCATION SCOUTING TOURS with a COSMETIC SURGERY, DENTAL WORK, LANGUAGE VACATION (at Costa Rica’s premier language institute) or a VACATION TO FIND YOUR DREAM PARTNER.

Browse this site to find out more about this Costa Rica's unique tours and the vacation arrangements we can make for you.  Nobody knows Costa Rica better than we do, let us be your guides on an unforgettable vacation!
