The police recommends
Do not resist. If you are the victim of an assault, you may be in danger and above all, your life is invaluable. Try to observe the characteristics of the offenders (clothing, skin color, height, tattoos, etc.). These details are important in the detection process.
A Nose full of Quills
Several sources state that Coendou mexicanus is found everywhere in Costa Rica except the southwestern Pacific zone, which includes the Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor, Costa Ballena, and the Osa Peninsula. This information is erroneous.
Looking back
Looking back at Costa Rica. This country is a paradise where you can manifest your dreams and reawaken your calling. The best part of Costa Rica is experiencing it!
Stam Café Ojochal
On April 19, 2019, the Stam Café in Ojochal opened its doors and offers more than thirty Belgian references. The draft beers like Stella, Leffe, and Hoegaarden White are also part of our tasting offer.
CAFÉ QUINTO SABOR; Real Food!
To me, eating locally is as vital to social justice as eating organically is to protecting the environment and healthy living. The Feria Tinamastes has become a wonderful space for our community to gather and connect. And, I hope, to reflect upon Vida Auténtica’s vision of a world where earth honoring agricultural practices foster the growth of healthy communities and sustainable food production.
Turmeric-powerdrink
Turmeric is a perennial, flowering plant, also called Indian saffron, and belongs to the ginger family. It occurs mainly in India and China. Marco Polo (13th century) mentioned its use, and there are also Sanskrit texts from the 5th and 6th centuries that describe turmeric.
Magic Made Local
At the Eco Feria Camino Real Dominical, each entrepreneur writes a beautiful story. They strive to provide fresh, healthy, locally produced and cultivated food and products.
Montessori education program
The learning experience is created to support the stages of child development and encourage independent learning engagement and discovery as guided by their teachers.
Received Certification by ISLA in Guanacaste
There were 85 participants in the program, representing communities from all over Costa Rica and Nicaragua. It was great to be able to meet and train with other water people, all of whom are working toward a common goal – increase the number of rescues in the country.
Greening a path for tapir´s return
The dream of the Path of the Tapir is to restore enough natural habitat to deforested lands so that the tapir will return. Much secondary forest has already regenerated in former cattle pastures.
Solar Energy, AN ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY SOLUTION!
Ōm Energy in Ojochal is a company that specializes in the design and commercialization of independent solar homes. They give advice and also build solar homes throughout the Costa Ballena region under the concept of “ŌM Nature.”
The Bees – a Beautiful Example
Bees are a wonderful example of teamwork, of service to the community, and of mutualism within ecosystems. They have developed, in an efficient and organized way, and are vital for pollination of flowers, including nearly 70% of human food.
The bee crisis is a wake-up call for humanity.
