Whale Watching Tour in Costa Rica
The waters surrounding Marino Ballena National Park are ideal for whale watching tour, as the clear, deep blue water allows for easy viewing. This area's most frequently spotted species include Humpback and Pilot Whales, Bottlenose Spotted Dolphins, and other marine life. As always, these sea creatures' presence and exact location are unpredictable with this type of tour. Although sightings cannot be guaranteed, they are frequent in these waters.
The park is fortunate to receive two annual migrations of whales: the Humpback Whale of the North visits the South Pacific Coast from December to March, and the humpback whale of the South begins migration in July, which ends in October.
The tour departs from Punta Uvita Beach. During the trip, sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and other marine life are commonly seen out in the water. The dolphin populations are resident, so it is usual to see them more often. You´ll visit “Roca Ballena” to watch birds and the Ventanas Beach Caves. The tour also includes some time for swimming and snorkeling, depending on climate conditions.

On Saturday night, Óscar, director of the Tortuga Beach Reserve (RPT) in Ojochal, had a hunch and decided to accompany some volunteers who would monitor Playa Hermosa. It is a place that in recent months has received dozens of olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) that come to nest.
Growing in Real Estate “The Sky is the Limit”
Starting in Real Estate is the least expected adventure that I would have ever thought of. Just about four years ago, I didn’t know what Real Estate really meant. It triggered a series of activities, both of a commercial nature, dreams, and personal inspirations.

The Neotropical Rattlesnakes – Jingle bells of the Snake World
Neotropical Rattlesnakes, does this word ring a bell to you? I think everyone has heard of them or seen them on television, stealing the show in cowboy movies or nature documentaries. Famous for their rattling tail tip, actually modified scales, being a series of hollow interlocking segments made out of keratin (the same substance as your fingernails.)

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.
