Free Costa Rica Magazine #101

Dear Readers:

With our characteristic enthusiasm, we proudly present our 101st digital edition.

Costa Rica’s South Pacific is a wonderful destination that offers a wealth of experiences. Its impressive biodiversity, a diverse culinary scene that combines national and international dishes, accommodation options for every budget, and activities both at sea and in the jungle make this region a truly unique place.

Among the highlights are whale-watching in Marino Ballena National Park, hiking in Corcovado National Park, snorkeling tours on Isla del Caño, visits to the Boruca indigenous community, and activities such as kayaking, community artisan markets, and more.

This community stands out for its commitment to conservation, as reflected in the many initiatives to protect this exceptional environment. In this edition, Evi, a volunteer who has participated with GrandiOsa, shares her experience participating in the organization's reforestation efforts.

Likewise, Viki Delvivir, owner of Boutique Ancestral, tells us, “Every Friday morning, the space opens its doors for a free community gathering: Weekly Pause, designed to slow down, reconnect, and remember that we are not meant to walk this path alone.”

We invite you to read her article, and we’d also like to mention that the cover of this issue was created as part of an Ancestral initiative. Our special thanks to @alucinainfinita for providing the beautiful photograph that accompanies it.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the brands whose advertising support enables this digital magazine to continue promoting this extraordinary destination to our beloved readers.

In this issue, we welcome iBUILD Costa Rica. We invite you to learn more about this company, which specializes in design, construction, and project management services.

We also include a variety of articles with useful and inspiring information. Discover the article by Vargas Medical Center, “Neuroplasticity and Migration”; the one by Dr. Mónica Alfaro, “Biostimulators and Exosomes: New Strategies for Skin Rejuvenation”; and the one by Nate Bright, “Art, Design, and Community,” dedicated to Galería 1084.

In addition, we invite you to take advantage of the final clearance sale at Recherché: the discounts are extraordinary.
