Traveling with friends is a must. A friends’ trip is the chance to share some amazing and memorable times, not to mention great stories. I’d even go so far as to say you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced a vacation with friends.

Have you heard about the amazing travel experiences in Costa Rica?  The hot travel destination of Costa Rica not only gives you thrilling scenery, exciting adventures and lots of off-the-beaten-path places to explore, the people are also really friendly. So you can go home leaving a few friends behind for another visit.

Portasol Rainforest & Ocean View Living eco-community is a choice Costa Rica vacation destination that appeals to all kinds of travelers. Close to major attractions and yet not in the tourist crush, Portasol Living is perfectly located if you want to have a relaxing vacation in nature, or an active vacation filled with beaches, adventure tours and the best national parks in the country.

For a fun friends’ trip, the Portasol residential eco-community offers affordable Costa Rica vacation rentals on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast.
