I’m writing my news in my hotel room in Jaco, Costa Rica. This is a beautiful country with tropical rainforests, many miles of golden-white beaches, turquoise waters in some areas, waterfalls and volcanoes. There are mountainous regions throughout the country with many hidden gems — a true paradise with wildlife and many colourful Central American birds. Right now, one would never know that this is still a second-world country, but it is populated with a low-income population. The price keeps rising, as in all other countries, but it remains affordable for Canadians to vacation here.
