South of Costa Rica

Writing is something that I am passionate about. I understand that through writing a lot of knowledge is acquired, which is powerful when used positively. Knowledge breaks the chains of slavery of any kind. In the South of Costa Rica, there is a privileged valley inhabited by brave and gallant people who have always fought for noble ideals.

There, in Perez Zeledón, living is an art, and the whole journey is an adventure that goes hand in hand with its environment. Its people, humble and thinking individuals, meditate to develop more sanity and a healthy environmental conscience. This Southern Zone has seen the birth of great characters of the local culture and literature, artists of letters, music and sports, a mystical valley.

The area is surrounded by mountains that guard the secrets of Pachamama (Mother Earth) and is where Diplomacy is the art of letting someone have their way. Here people know that “without sacrifice there is no success,” and this is dictated by history that is written in time. It does not forget the heroes remembered by those who recognize the value of the past and clearly understand that “no problem can be effectively solved if you deny its existence.”

I do not want to change the world, I just want to improve it ... and that I get by improving myself. If we all do that, everything changes positively. Pachamama is wise, that is why I do as turtles do: Noble creatures slowly enjoying their journey through life, travelling the world and always returning to their roots.

For that reason, after an absence full of experiences, I returned. Today from my desk, I extend a cordial invitation to all the travelers of the world to come and enjoy the wonders of the South of Costa Rica.
