Costa Rica Tours - Paradise Tropical Garden Tour

Costa Rica Tours - Paradise Tropical Garden Tour

The Beatham Family invites you to visit their tropical garden. The garden was started in 2001 where African Oil Palm Trees were once planted. The trail through the garden has wide, clean paths and plant species are well labeled. You will see may tropical plants and flowers in the garden such as: heliconias, bromeliads, gingers, orchids, palms, bananas, bamboos, exotic vegetables, fruits, spices and medicinal plants. It is a short walk to where there are African oil palms growing and the workers will show you how the bunches of fruit are harvested from the tall palms. We return from our walk to a table set up with an exposition of tropical fruits and remedies. You will get to see and try many different tropical fruits; such as, South American zapote, bread nut, peach palm, cassava, sugar cane, cacao, etc., and will be shown many remedies made from tropical plants. Normally we give a short talk covering a little history of the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica (from Limon to Quepos and to Golfito), why the palm oil was planted and why the company closed the banana operation in Costa Rica.

Over an open fire called a "fogon" we cook several local foods for you to sample: peach palms, cassava and bread nut. We always have rice, beans, plantains, cooking bananas and something typical "Tico" on hand to eat.

                      OUR "PET PROJECT"

golfito dog clinic Land Sea Services is proud of advances made in Golfito to further the humane treatment of dogs and cats. Community groups such as ZAPPA and McKee are reaching out to give low and no-cost care to 'under privileged' and street critters, greatly reducing the population of homeless animals in our area. Your contributions make possible the Low Cost and Free Clinics being sponsored by area volunteers and veterinarians. Each contribution of $10.00 sponsors a dog or cat that wouldn't otherwise be able to receive vaccinations and spaying - and wouldn't have been considered adoptable! Your generous contribution of $200.00 will sponsor a neighborhood clinic with free services to 20 needy animals. That's a potential reduction of over 100 unwanted births in a neighborhood in the first year alone. Do the math?! It's a loving and needed investment. Please consider supporting our "pet project" by bringing a donation to our office when you visit Golfito. Receipts will be given along with our THANKS! Volunteers for Clinic Days are always welcome.
