Ironically given what happened later, the Americas were first viewed as a land of Utopia by Renaissance Europe and the first explorers. Vespucci wrote "They live without king and without any form of authority, and each is his own master." A chronicler of Columbus: "...they go naked...and live in a golden age, simple and innocent, without laws, quarrels, or money, content to satisfy nature."

Testimonials: Mauricio, We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. The transfers were great: we loved Eli (not sure if that is his name but the first driver) we also liked the second driver but we spent more time with Eli. They were both very cautious and friendly. The Arenal Springs is a very nice place to stay and to start the trip. I loved sitting on the porch and watching the hummingbirds. The concierge was very helpful and the b'fast was good.
