Ballena Tales #80. Bicentennial of Independence
Dear Reader,
Congratulations to Costa Rica on its Bicentennial of Independence! From its foundation in 1821, a guideline for conduct determined that Costa Rica “recognizes and respects civil liberties, property, and other legitimate national rights of every person and any state or nation.” The country
has proven that it can live in peace, freely and democratically, even with limited economic resources and facing significant challenges while respecting the environment.
Now we have a lot to celebrate, aren’t these the most amazing colorful birds crossing our skies again? The Ara Macaws are back, thanks to a woman who isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty. You can win a $100 gift voucher if you tell Osa Tropical Properties what the Animal Avatar most appeals to you.
Best wishes to the recently-inaugurated Body Revitalization Institute in Dominical! It has a comprehensive program of healing alternatives to ease your discomfort. The Eco Feria has reopened its doors, inviting people to make conscious decisions about living in the countryside and supporting the local economy.
On our way South, we stop at Playa Hermosa, Osa’s first accessible beach for wheelchair drivers enabling the enjoyment of the warm waters of the South Pacific to people with disabilities.
After 4 km, we arrive at Uvita, considered the capital of Costa Ballena, a town that has it all, right in the middle of the most incredible surroundings of the mountains and the ocean.
Read the heartwarming story about 100 stray dogs flown out to Canada to find a loving home. Don Gilberth tells his story of how he became a well-educated bilingual owner of a magnificent van who has a passion for excellence.
If your passion is for delicious food, take part in the upcoming Costa muy Rica events at Citrus in Ojochal.
You will have noticed that our design has improved, and we can now insert videos into our online publications, a service we make available to our customers.
Enjoy the ride and live the Pura Vida!
