Kayaking the Sabalo River in Zancudo !!

​     There is an amazing 'Second World' here in Playa Zancudo. !!
No one can argue that the miles & miles of un-populated Beach Front are simply jaw dropping ! That the Saltwater Sport Fishing in the Golfo here is incredible ! That the 'un-crowded' Surfing Scene right out the front door is a dream come true !
    BUT ... there is another "side" to Zancudo that not enough people take advantage of when they 'Visit Zancudo'. Just across our little dirt road from that World Class Remote Beach is an amazing Mangrove Estuary right out of a Jungle Book Movie !
   With a few hours of paddling around in a Kayak through this Tropical Wonderland you are in awe of it's tranquility and soul mending beauty !!
     Our friends Emily & Taylor, of 'Zancudo West B&B', have been sharing this amazing place with many of the visitors that come to enjoy our sleepy little Beach Town . They start their adventure at the very Head Waters of the river in the Wildlife Reserve at Arena Alta . Located at the  southern end of Zancudo's Beach road, Arena Alta Wildlife Village & Reserve is the perfect place to set out on this magical trip. The quiet, the serenity, the un-match Tranquility of this hidden river and the access that the Reserve provides is unlike anything Zancudo has been able to offer in years past. 
     The next time you 'Visit Zancudo', remember that there is more to our little fishing Village than our incredible remote beach ! There is the magic of this Tropical Mangrove Estuary just waiting to be explored !!

Finally !! Owning your own piece of this remote, Tropical Beach Paradise has just become more affordable and secure then ever before !!

     Arena Alta Wildlife Village & Reserve is the most amazing project that Playa Zancudo has ever seen ! A nearly 100 acre, Privately owned property, that stretches from Zancudo's beach road back into the Old Growth Rain Forest and the headwaters of the Coto/Sabalo River's Mangrove Estuary. Never has there been this type of access to this Tropical Wonderland !!

   Arena Alta Wildlife Reserve is focused on preserving & maintaining this property in it's natural state for the Education and Enjoyment of the residents and the many Tourist that come to Playa Zancudo each year. There are guided Nature Tours and Horseback Riding through the property so visitors can get a real close-up look at this amazing place.

      There will also be a small residential (Village) area of TITLED 1.2 acre lots with easy road & beach access at the very front of the property. Clear Title & Survey in your name will be provided  for each lot at closing. The Owners of Arena Alta Wildlife Reserve have an on going working relationship with the Local Contractors and can provide Management & Oversight of the construction of your new Home here in the Village. As a Vacation Home for you, a Home to retire in or a Vacation Rental when you are not here in town, Arena Alta Wildlife Village can provide property management and maintenance of your property as needed.
      Arena Alta Wildlife Village & Reserve is truly an amazing opportunity that Playa Zancudo has never been able to offer in the past. To be able to own your own TITLED 1.2 acre lot and build a home in this pristine Nature Reserve is simply incredible.  When you combine the Old Growth Rain Forest , the  'Re-claimed' Horse Pasture , Maintained Nature Trails ,  Easy Kayak & Canoe access from your Village Property to the Mangrove Estuary & River , The endless Photography & Birding opportunities in your 'back yard' and one of Costa Rica's most incredible remote Beaches just across the road ... My friends, YOU HAVE FOUND PARADISE !!!

      Arena Alta Wildlife Village is looking for a few 'like minded' people to join us in helping to create a one of a kind Community here in the Heart of this Tropical Paradise. The Building Lots will start at $45,000.00 (US) and go up from there. The Owner/Manager of the Reserve has a great team of Surveyors, Builders and Lawyers to make the Permit, Design and Building posses of your new home as easy and stress free as possible.
    This is a one of a kind Opportunity, in a one of a kind Project, on a one of a kind Property, in a One Of a Kind Place ! Come and see, enjoy and live the Pura Vida that is ...

      Right in the center of 'Down Town' Zancudo, The Coquito is one of the Corner Stones of our little Beach town. El Coquito has warn many hats over the years and now as a classic "Tico" style restaurant it is filling a gap for those in search of a more traditional Costa Rican time out.
       Right on the Beach and allowing access to the best of the Public camping areas El Coquitos is the center of the goings on in down town.
       Your Hostess, Sue & Crew are always looking at the calendar for a reason to have an event and you can count on a little something special on any given Holiday.
       When you find yourself here on the Beach, stop in ~ morning, noon or night ~ and enjoy the good local food, the incredible location and the friendly Staff here in one of the Foundation Blocks of Playa Zancudo !!     Pura Vida !!

Monkey'in Around in Paradise

     When you come and 'Visit Zancudo' make sure you set a little time aside to Monkey around a bit !  ;) We can never get enough of our "Local" friends as they go about their daily lives here on the Beach.
      On the other side of our little Beach road  there is a huge Mangrove Estuary that is created by the mouth of the Coto River as it flows past Zancudo and pours into the Ocean. This jungle is where our friends like to live & play when they're not checking out the scene in town.
     Big fans of Bananas ... go figure !!  ;)
   

     Start planning your adventure to Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica !!
It's a small & remote Tropical Beach Town in the Southern most reaches of the Pacific coast of Central Americas crown jewel ;)  Here at "The End of The Road" is a place that, once experienced, will never leave your mind. A place to download away the stress of your day to day. A place to take a deep breath and let paradise recharge your batteries !!  ;)
      As we like to say around here on the Beach ...
 "We're all here because, WE ARE NOT ALL THERE ! "  ~ Pura Vida ! ~

     Here in Playa Zancudo you don't typically find yourself standing in line for anything. There are no crazy events or big crowds to deal with. There are no 'Black Friday' type sales promotions that have you waiting for hours in line to "be the first" ;) No concert tickets to camp out over night for. We don't have any Banks or DMV's or Starbucks here on the beach !! The truth is, we just don't have time to be standing in line for much of anything .
     That's part of living in a remote Tropical Paradise ... we just don't waste our time, wasting our time !!! 

     Now, it is true that we have our fair share of 'Hammock Time'. There are long wondering walks for miles of deserted  Beach. Hours of good book reading and plenty of ... "I'm just not sure what I'll do today" ! ... but standing in a line just doesn't fit the Vibe of why we are all here !! 
     Playa Zancudo is a remote Tropical Beach Town at the southern most reaches of the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. No one is in a hurry to do anything special and know one is stressed about what to do next !  We have a laid back way and a "Pura Vida" state of mind.  That is the magic of a place like this ! That is the reason we choose to be here ! We take our time here slow & easy ... but it's never wasted !!
     Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica is that place !!
A year round, Tropical Beach Hide-a-Way at the 'End of The Road' !!
     You're invited to leave the stress & pressure of living in the 'real world' behind and come here to ... 'Visit Zancudo' !!   
      A very few people know of this place ... hence ... 
THERE ISN'T A LINE TO GET IN !!  Pura Vida Way !!

      We want to wish all of our friends in the North East of the States the best of luck with this latest Winter Storm. Keep the kids home from school, take a few days off from work and hang out with your family  watching movies and playing board games. As it is written ...  "This too shall pass" ;)
      We here on the Beach feel blessed every time Ole' Man Winter pokes his finger in the eyes of our friends and take the opportunity to remind them that Playa Zancudo is a great place this time of year !!!
       The truth is, it's a great place to be all year round !!  ;)
Playa Zancudo is a year round, remote Tropical Beach Hide-a-Way in the southern most reaches of Costa Rica. 'If getting away from it ALL is what YOU are all about' ... it's time to start making your plans to ~ Visit Zancudo ~  PURA VIDA !!
