If you can get yourself to any Delta Airlines gateway in the USA, you can take advantage of a fabulous travel deal in Costa Rica, with a five-day (four-night) vacation starting from just $649 per person. That's the promise Sunny Land Tours is making for departures the rest of the month of May, so there's not much time.
On the other hand, departures in June are just $50 more ($699), while those in July and August are $100 more ($749). These are for midweek flights, but weekend flights are just $30 more each way. To get these prices, you must pay in full by June 30, 2003.
The price includes roundtrip air from any Delta gateway in the US, roundtrip airport transfers, four nights of lodging at the all-inclusive Giardini Beach Resort (including drinks, meals, snacks, sports and entertainment), plus a donation to the Costa Rican Adopt-a-School program on your behalf. (That's a non-profit endeavor that promotes bio-literacy education for the children of the country. To date, more than 10,000 kids have been given special tutoring in biodiversity.)
The rates are per person, based on double occupancy, and subject to airport taxes and security charges of $54 to $71, depending on gateway. If you want to go solo, the single supplement is $100. The deduction for children ages 2 to 12 is $150. And yes, you can stay longer, with options for additional nights and extensions of the tour.
The flight to Costa Rica takes just 2 hours and 30 minutes from Miami, about 5 hours 30 minutes from either JFK or LAX. The savings on this vacation is over 40% off the regular price, Sunny Land says.
Costa Rica is the safest of all Central American countries, and the most stable, politically and financially. It is also a leader in protection of wildlife and flora, of which it has a rich abundance.
