Not that you will miss some special Holiday Travel Package, although that is possible, it is actually more of a subtle thing. Jaco’, Costa Rica is a small beach town that is in transition to becoming the #1 travel destination in Latin America. World Travel Awards voted Jaco Beach The Leading Beach for 2007! The secret of Jaco’ has been discovered some time ago and because people from all over the world have come here and loved it and told their friends, this little town is changing into a “little big town”. To illustrate, yesterday a runaway horse (a walkaway horse is more accurate) strutted down Main Street, followed by a couple of SUVs and a bus. Whiplash-necked second glances came mostly from tourists. In the mornings, seeing a string of saddled horses being led down Main Street past newly erected hotels toward Jaco’ Beach for horseback riding patrons is still a normal thing.  TV STAR IN JACO BEACH (see Latest News) There is so much “progress” advancing in this place, with the construction of new hotels, casinos, restaurants, boat marinas, etc., that hopefully, the commercial aspect of the newly emerging Jaco Beach will not take the “Pura Vida” out of it. Pura Vida is the national saying, literally meaning, “Pure Life”. More than just words, Pura Vida has become a lifestyle of tolerance and kindness. The newest essential travel item to bring is a laptop computer! Jaco, Costa Rica is WiFi heaven!  BAD BUS FOR A THIEF (see Roadtrip) For all that is happening to their little town, the Jacotistas are handling everything better than most of us could. The inhabitants of the Planet Costa Rica are warm, friendly and compassionate. I tell visitors arriving from other parts of the Galaxy that the locals here are more like how we (in the U.S.A.) used to be in our grandparents or great grandparents time. Sometimes my description doesn’t hit home until later. The flavor of this little beach town is ultimately unique, and its special location in Costa Rica, makes Jaco’ the best travel destination for use as a launching pad to all the many wondrous and amazing sights that this country has to offer.
