are not well maintained. The Costa

of coastal properties yet to be exploited &
there are acres of coastal land with absolutely
no development.

created the island thousands of years ago, as
part of the Caribbean Ring of Fire, bellows in
several hot springs, valleys of steaming earth,

in the world. Along with geothermal wonders come
natural coolants: hundreds of pristine rivers
and streams web the island's lush terrain. Pure
