Costa Esmeralda Will Give Visitors Many Amazing Experiences

By Lacy Hart


Costa Esmeralda is the most popular areas to visit; this idyllic but exciting region offers a little something for each holiday seeker. Informally known as the Emerald Coast, this stretch of land runs along the Gulf coast of Mexico, Florida. At one stage it was an area of great controversy over shipping rights for this inlet, but it has grown immensely over the past few centuries in economic stability and popularity.

Homes that are built on the beach fronts here sell for huge profits. Housing many of the American military facilities as well as the largest base built in America. Besides a military career, the populace has also been employed in the tourism industry. Other key employers are the fishing industries and civil engineering.

A hundred mile long shoreline that traverses through five different countries. Offering a gigantic amount of leisure activities that tourist can keep busy with. The main one being deep sea fishing, with the world's best and biggest records caught in these waters.

But those vacationers that come for a visit to this destination will most positively not go home disappointed. For the older more subdued visitor there are historic guided tours that will teach a significant amount of facts about the Panama Canal. Moreover every individual could benefit from going on the offered cruises, with picturesque views, and the potential of seeing a boat taken through one of the lock systems of the canal at the Mira Flores Locks.

Some may be lucky enough to experience how it works; depending on how busy the canal is at the time. These locks were built in 1909 and were considered the most ground-breaking engineering marvels of the time. The tour includes a visit to Casco Antiguo which has the most beautiful Spanish architecture, as well as landmarks such as the Flat Arch, Las Bovedas and among other the San Jose church with is altar made of gold.

Nature lovers flock to this coastal region with its abundant wild life. Monkey Island is situated along the Gatun Lake in the dense forests, it is home to the Capuchin and Howler monkeys as well as the 3-toed sloths. Bird life is also diverse with many species of Toucans attracting the birdwatchers of the world. A leisurely hike, hot springs and the local zoo is all part of this inhabited volcanic crater.

Adventurers searching for an adrenalin rush will definitely not be disappointed when coming here. Trips through the rain forest are definitely highly recommended. Consisting of a walk through the forest, a steep zip line journey and kayaking, definitely not for the faint hearted or unfit.

But when it comes to beaches and oceans Costa Esmeralda has by large the most interesting. Scuba diving under these waves is inspiring for many, and of course surfing is a must. Either way one will fall in love with this place.
