			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>College students all over look forward to spring break. For them it means an end to the endless hours in the classrooms and that the weather is warming up. It also means that they have a chance to escape to their favorite vacation spot. While there are the typically spots that everyone goes to such as Cancun and the beaches of the east coast, there are those spots that are still hidden gems. An adventure spring break in Costa Rica is one of those well geared gems.</p>
<p>Spring break in a foreign country probably seems a bit lavish and out of your budget, but you will probably be pleasantly surprised to find that this trip can be extremely affordable. The value of Costa Rica makes it a true vacation secret.</p>
<p>This secret has been well guarded in recent times and probably can&#8217;t be kept forever, so you are fortunate to be able to enjoy this place while still is a secret. The fact that Costa Rica is not as built up and promoted as other destinations means that the hotels and other accommodations are still affordable. Just because the hotels are cheap does not mean that the beaches are lousy. You will be surprised to find just the opposite the first moment you see the beach for yourself.</p>
<p>Every spring break destination needs to have a vibrant nightlife. The nightlife here is equal to the nightlife anywhere without all the crowds. There are plenty of places to enjoy the night time without having to fight a horde of people. Many of these provide a great place to meet people of the other sex.</p>
<p>Being a secret does not mean that the place is desolate and that no one else will be there. The word is out just enough for students to travel from all over to enjoy this secret destination. What keeps this place affordable and popular without being bombarded by breakers is the misconception that a trip here would be expensive. This makes it possible to mingle with other students any time you come.</p>
<p>This hidden gem is located between Central America and Nicaragua. There is a mix of beaches and tropical rain forests. You will also be delighted by how pleasant the weather is. All the elements will be perfect for an adventure spring break in Costa Rica to be compromised of whatever you desire.</p>
<p>One of the popular adventures here is to explore the rainforest. This area makes for some dramatic hiking. This hiking can often include encountering a wild animal of the rain forest. There is also opportunity to hike up the side of a volcano. However if all this seems like a little more than you had in mind then you can always explore the beaches and all the watercraft and other activities that await you there.</p>
<p>Another way to enjoy and adventure in Costa Rica is to take a river adventure in a kayak or canoe. No matter what you decide to do while on spring break you are sure to forget everything you just spent the last semester studying. Don&#8217;t worry it will all come back to you the minute you step back on campus. Also remember that in order to enter the country you will need a passport.</p>
<p>For those out there who are searching to enjoy a spring break, you should look at packages that include a <a href="http://www.paradiseparties.com/costa_rica.asp">Spring Break in Costa Rica</a>. <a href="http://www.paradiseparties.com/costa_rica.asp">Adventure Spring Break</a> is exactly what are in need of to get away from it all for a couple of days or a week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Costa Rica research satellite and fin tagging expedition recently got underway at Cocos Island mapping its green sea turtle and hawksbill visitors.</p>
<p>Conservation organizations and marine researchers spent about 30 hours sailing to the island in their search for more knowledge about these ancient marine animals. </p>
<p>Imagine what they do as a kind of working Costa Rica vacation that, hopefully, will contribute to saving these marvelous marine reptiles now sadly endangered in much of their range. </p>
<p>The famous oceanographer, Jacque Yves Cousteau, once described Cocos Island as the most beautiful island he had ever encountered. The small island, less than 10 square miles in area, lies some 340 miles off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, about halfway to the Galapagos Islands. </p>
<p>It was not the tropical sunsets and beaches that enthralled the Captain. Its beauty is just off its shores, under water, in a place that Costa Ricans have voted as one of the Seven Wonders of Costa Rica. It is there that one finds priceless treasure: tremendous numbers of fish, whales, porpoises, and turtles.</p>
<p>Marine turtles have swum the oceans of the world since the age of dinosaurs. Imagine mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex preying on them 200 million years ago when they came ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches. </p>
<p>These ancient creatures swim every sea except the frozen Arctic and Antarctic. </p>
<p>Once, the numbers of green sea turtle, hawksbill, leatherback and other species were so huge that lost sailors sometimes found land by listening for sea turtles paddling towards nesting grounds. </p>
<p>Once, not so long ago the raw numbers of sea turtles were still so great that seamen lost in the fog sometimes found their way by listening for the sounds of sea turtles paddling towards ancient nesting grounds. For eons, marine turtles provided food for every sort of creature. Over eons, billions and billions were eaten by and trillions and trillions of eggs fed birds and animals, including man, for innumerable generations, yet the species&#8217; flourished. However, in just a few short, recent generations, man&#8217;s indiscriminate coastline development and wanton destruction of these animals and their eggs have put them at risk. Whole populations were killed off in South America to make stylish Italian combs, and expensive shoes. </p>
<p>Jacque Yves Cousteau once presciently said: &#8220;If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.&#8221; </p>
<p>However, more and more governments and conservation organizations are trying to restore at least some turtle populations. International treaties relating to sea turtles are now in place, though many countries have yet to implement them. Conservation organizations, scientists, and researchers have begun tagging ocean roaming turtles in far away places like Cocos Island, the Galapagos, Columbia, and other areas. Some animals are fitted with satellite transmitters that track them 24 hours a day while others bear numbered flipper tags. It is all part of an effort to track their travel patterns. </p>
<p>These taggingvolunteers, scientists, and researchers have confidence that sea turtles can be around another 200 million years but only if men pay more attention to protecting them than exploiting them.</p>
