Living La Vida Loca
Ricky Martin sang it! Many of us danced to it! It’s the crazy life, but it’s a good life. Fun, excitement, good food and good friends.
When a person thinks about Latin America, one thinks about warmth, sunshine, lying back on some beautiful, white, sandy beach. Letting the ocean waves gently lap over your toes. Or are you a year-round golfer? You can do that. Perhaps you prefer the hustle and bustle of the fast-paced city life. Maybe you would like to live on “mañana” time. Put if off until tomorrow.
One can find any of those choices in Latin America. Belize is on the Caribbean side. The bonus for Belize is that it has shallow, inter-coastal waterways sheltered by a line of coastal reefs and is dotted by islets called “cayes” or “cays”. Opportunities to visit the Mayan ruins are always exciting.
The island of Roatan is also on the Caribbean side. Part of the Republic of Honduras, Roatan is one of the three Bay Islands off shore. Both Roatan and Belize are embraced by a portion of the Great Western Barrier Reef, second only in size to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Diving and snorkeling are ideal in both countries.
Looking for beauty and eco-friendly environment? Head to Costa Rica. One of the first Central American countries to explore the benefits of tourism; Costa Rica is far ahead in the field of second home buyers. Still though about 25% of the country’s land area is protected national parks.
Just beginning to enter the second home market is Nicaragua. Best known for its magnificent shore line and brilliant sunsets, the west coast of Nicaragua is often referred to as the “Pacific Riviera”. Prices are still moderate, but beware. The world is discovering Nicaragua. The word is getting out. Bargains won’t last forever.
Right now, Panama has the biggest second home market. And they have it all…second homes, city condominiums, ocean resorts, golf course homes, even tree houses in the Pearl Islands! Very lucrative incentives are offered to the “retiree” who comes to live in Panama. Don’t like new? Then check out the “old” city area of Casa Viejo. Originally built in the 1600’s, it is pain-stakingly being restored to its old world charm.
