Las Catalinas made a tremendous impression on a theater full of charitable Atlantans this week: Actress Jane Fonda was hosting a premiere for her new movie, Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, as a benefit for the organization she champions, G-CAPP (Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy ...
Last week I had the pleasure of making a 5 day mountain bike trip out of Las Catalinas with some of my friends. I've said it before but I'll say it even more emphatically now - this is such a great area for exploring! We rode one day in Las Catalinas on our singletrack; one day a big backcountry ...
I'm just remembering that I never posted our last newsletter here on the blog. Here it is. Also you can see its fully illustrated glory here.
I attended TEDxAtlanta this week (for those of you who aren't familiar with TED, it's an international nonprofit devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading" via lectures, and is becoming increasingly popular in the technology, entertainment and design worlds. It's featured speakers ranging from business ...
The pink paper delivered great news last week -- Financial Times' FDI Intelligence unit named Costa Rica the "Best Country of the Future for Foreign Direct Investment in Central America & the Caribbean, 2011 - 2012." Costa Rica climbed from second position to be ranked as the most attractive ...
Delta has just announced that it will begin direct flights to Liberia (24 miles from Las Catalinas) from Minneapolis - St. Paul in January. The flights will be weekly, on Saturdays. This is great news and more evidence that the new Liberia airport terminal is attracting more and more flight ...
Yesterday we sent out a electronic newsletter and I thought I'd post it here as well. I must say it is very gratifying to be seeing our vision become reality!
I'm a little slow on getting this news out, but JetBlue is joining the list of airlines flying to Liberia - just 23 miles from Las Catalinas.

A group of prospective Las Catalinas owners and friends headed out Saturday for a sailing outing offshore of Las Catalinas on the Hibiscus catamaran. It was a beautiful afternoon, with one of the biggest swells we have had around here in a long time. I always enjoy introducing our guests to some of ...
The Pura Vida Ride building and shop looks fabulous, I must say. The structure borrows much from the typical local architecture of a "pulperia", a corner store, including the doorway on the angled corner of the building. There are fresh air vents on top, no air conditioning, and a tree growing ...
This past Saturday morning Pura Vida Ride hosted the Robert August Stand Up Paddle Challenge, featuring three races starting and ending on Playa Danta. It could not have been any better. There were paddlers of all ages and abilities and plenty of spectators too.
We now run a pretty good sized hospitality operation at Las Catalinas. Over the holidays our sleeping-in-town population maxed out at 210 people! That's getting up there...
Sheryl and I spent the first night in our new home at Las Catalinas on Wednesday night.
Professor Samir Younes forwarded this video to me. It is a proposed New Urban project near Rome. Italy, that is. It is at a different scale than Las Catalinas - bigger buildings, more big city. But it has some things in common such as a great emphasis on beautiful public spaces, an irregular urban ...
On June 18th the Robert August Inaugural Stand Up Paddle Challenge will take place at Las Catalinas. Oh yeah! There will be a Distance Class Race, a Sprint Class, and a Family Class. I am definitely entering. The race is being put on by Pura Vida Ride, the outdoor outfitter business located at Las ...
