Tours | Count Me In!

“Count Me In!” tours are for the people who are very serious about becoming a resident at an ACLF Community. Not only will you have the opportunity to tour the Lake Arenal area, but you will also get a firsthand look at what our Crystalline Light Communities are going to look like. Should you decide to join our Boots on the Ground Project you would be living in the area to get the physical community designed, built, and operative. You would become a resident of the community, living at and contributing your skills, knowledge, expertise and more to that community in that location. Therefore, we will spend most of the tour time focusing on the ACLF Vision and Mission for each location and what life at that location will encompass. We will spend time walking the properties together while all are encouraged to share ideas that could benefit each community site.  We will also spend time getting to know the area and interacting with the local people. These tours are geared toward helping you envision what your life would be like at each location you visit.

This is a step in the decision process for us to get to know one another and, ultimately, if the ACLF vision and mission and becoming a member of an ACLF community is a fit all around.

For now our focus is only on Costa Rica and the properties currently owned. However, it is the intention to build ACLF communities worldwide so, if you resonate with our Vision and Mission but Costa Rica does not appeal to you, we encourage you to stay in touch by becoming a member of our online community (as soon as we get it up and running) and/or continue to check the website for new locations which will be posted as we acquire more properties globally.

Tours costs

The cost per person will vary depending on the availability of accommodations, in country transportation, length of stay (flexible 5-6 day tours) and the number of people on the tour (min. 4 people, max. 5 people). Costs will range from $400.00 to $550.00 per person.

On these tours we will keep the costs to a minimum without compromising comfort and security.

Every tour is custom planned, flexible and unique to those people on any given tour. What is included will vary by the group’s choices of how many days, level of accommodations, mode of travel, meals, ect. for each tour.  Therefore, the cost for each tour will be determined at the time of booking as the itinerary is completed.
