Costa Rica hits #1 on Happiness Index!
July 09, 2009
One of our favorite journeys is to a destination now considered the Happiest Place on Earth...Costa Rica! According to the Happy Planet Index, (www.happyplanetindex.org), "Costa Ricans report the highest life satisfaction in the world, have the second-highest average life expectancy of the Americas (second only to Canada) and have an ecological footprint that means that the country only narrowly fails to achieve the goal of ‘one-planet living’: consuming its fair share of the Earth’s natural resources."
Spend your vacation doing what the happy Costa Ricans do: eating fresh, healthy food, breathing clean air and walking in beautiful natural surroundings.
Other natural highlights include hiking in gorgeous settings such as a waterfall near Arenal Volcano and in the beautiful cloud forest of Monteverde, hearing iguanas scrabbling on your cabina rooftop and seeing monkeys dance on your deck.
Leave the cold winter behind in Jan-April or choose your own date for your small group adventure. It's time to be happy and Costa Rica has all the right ingredients to do it! To learn more, visit our website at

Wine and Food Tours to Argentina!
July 06, 2009
New! Wine & Cultural Journeys to Argentina
With Europe becoming increasingly expensive, many travelers are looking for a destination that is easy on the budget, culturally rich, safe and of course… beautiful.
It just so happens that Argentina offers visitors all of the above and more. In fact, Smithsonian magazine (June 2009) recently compared the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires (clear air) to Paris of the 1920s. Handsome people sipping cappuccinos in cafe chairs spill out on to colorful streets. Grand museums abound and South America’s most impressive opera house Teatro Colón is set to re-open in May 2010.
In addition to the abundant art and cultural scene offered by Buenos Aires, you’ll also find neighborhoods with names like “Palermo” and “Ricoleta” presenting some of the best restaurants on the planet. Mouth-watering steaks are served up nightly to hungry patrons along with velvety smooth Malbec wines for under $20 per person. The same meal in Paris, London or Madrid would easily cost four times that price.
Earthbound Expeditions has timed the 2010 winter journeys perfectly so you’ll have a full day to enjoy the lively Sunday market of Buenos Aires, "San Telmo." The market features antique dealers, tango dancers, street musicians, food stalls and a variety of South American handicrafts.
The timing of the trip also ensures good weather since January, February and March are the summer months in Argentina so you’ll enjoy long, warm, sunny days.
Currently Earthbound Expeditions is offering two very special wine and food journeys to Argentina and Chile in Feb. and March of 2010. To learn more visit us at www.EarthboundExpeditions.com
