Airlines are reducing prices

Have you checked the flight prices lately? If not, you’ll be pleasantly surprised! For example, a return flight from New York around Christmas/New Year will set you back ONLY $350. That’s twice less than it was just last year!
Even traditionally resistant TACA announced Wednesday that it will be reducing its corporate fares in light of the current economic circumstances.

Taca’s business class travelling to/from Costa Rica, will now be receiving discounts of up to 35 percent.
Costa Rican local airline NatureAir, has experienced increases in open seats as well. As Costa Rica tourist numbers drop, so does the number of travelers willing to pay for local flights.

So, may be it’s a great time to visit beautiful Costa Rica after all.

The American Society of Civil Engineers awarded the Guayabo National Monument the International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark Award.

Guayabo Ceremonial Center, Costa Rica was built between 300 B.C. and 1400 A.D.. It is considered the main pre-Columbian archaeological site in Costa Rica. It is believed to reflect a bridge between the Mayans and the Incas.

The Guayabo historic site is situated in the province of Cartago.

The location was nominated by the Costa Rican Engineer and Architects College for its fascinating and still functional aqueducts and cobblestone roads.

This is only the second pre-Columbian site in the Americas to receive such a designation. The first one is Machu Picchu in Peru.
