Dear Friends,

As we head into the Autumn of 2009, we wanted to remind you to plan your year-end trips and winter getaways to Costa Rica early. With direct flights from many cities and affordable air fairs, Costa Rica offers a guiltless vacation that will re-energize you.
     Our hotel offers 4 luxury riverside Casitas, and Casa Palo Alto, our elegant hilltop villa. Without ever leaving our property you can hike our extensive network of trails, test your horseback riding skills, bird-watch and see how many of the 231 documented bird species you can identify, swim in our pool or enjoy one of the many swimming holes in the two rivers that run adjacent to our property.
     If you are feeling creative, you can learn to make cheese or natural soaps, try your hand at paper making or take personal art instruction from one of our resident artists.
     You may also choose to indulge in the complete privacy and comfort of your suite, while taking in the sights and sounds of the rainforest from your private deck and garden, or relax with in-room spa treatments.
     Just up the road from Monte Azul are natural hot springs, and the entrance to Chirripó National Park, which boasts Costa Rica's highest peak, Cerro Chirripó at 12,500 ft. Alternatively, take day trips to the beach, enjoy kayaking in the warm ocean and mangroves, go whitewater rafting, zip lining and more.
     Plan your vacation now, we would be glad to make recommendations and suggestions, just drop us an email at info@monteazulcr.com or call direct: +506 2742 5222 or in the USA at +1 646 478 7038.
