Sierpe Mangrove Boat Tour Costa Rica
The mangrove boat tour with “Kokopelli Mangrove Tours” was amazing and pretty exciting. I was able to see so many animals that I have never seen before in real life. I would highly recommend enjoying this tour if you are interested in the wildlife of Costa Rica and want to learn more about mangroves.

Maintenance outdoors, Do it Yourself
The dry season is here! The best time to perform maintenance outdoors. We have just faced one of the strongest rainy seasons in recent years. We can observe a more significant deterioration in our buildings and mainly in outdoor areas that were spaces exposed to inclement weather.

SimbiOsa Restaurant, surprising and creative dishes
SimbiOsa Restaurant delivers surprising and creative dishes crafted from high-quality ingredients focusing on fusion and a philosophy of integrity.
Some dishes have an Indian influence, while others are down-home comfort food, made with a Tico twist and magic element.
YOU’VE GOT TO BE TOUGH TO BE AN AGOUTI
When you’re walking through the rainforest and surprise an animal that goes bouncing through the undergrowth emitting panicked, bark-like grunts with every bounce, you’ve certainly startled a Central American Agouti (Dasysyprocta punctata). After 20 years of living here, I finally saw one standing still. Once the hunting was under control on Hacienda Barú National Wildlife Refuge, their fear of humans diminished considerably.
