From decorated palm trees to traditional tamales at Christmas, Costa Rica is sure to show you a unique and exciting departure from the hustle and bustle of the holidays and New Year like your family has never seen.

Christmas in Costa Rica is a decadent time of celebration that includes elaborate catholic masses, beautifully decorated homes and businesses, and of course food. Lots of food!

A traditional Costa Rican family will decorate homes with cypress wreaths and tropical flowers to enhance a centrally located nativity scene. On Christmas Eve, families join together and put on their best and celebrate midnight mass before enjoying stunning spreads of chicken, beef, pork, and of course tamales ready to grill wrapped in plantain leaves.

The holidays are approaching and now is the time to catch some great last minute specials on luxury vacation properties through Manuel Antonio Vacation Rentals,  your premier Costa Rican vacation consultants.

Throughout the holidays and New Year there are many festivals and social events all over Costa Rica and its beautiful beaches. Now is the time to call MAV rentals. When you’re sipping Guaro on the beach this holiday season, you’ll be glad you did. Feliz Navidad!
