Restaurants define this part of the Costa Ballena as the culinary destination of the South Pacific. With fine dining ranging from Mediterranean to Indonesian, you are sure to find a great meal. Reserve in advance because people travel from as far as Jacó to dine in a jungle atmosphere.

The Magic Moon and the Plants
The moon is a mirror that reflects the sunlight which causes variations in the behavior of the plants. Farmers know that lunar phases influence the movement of plant sap, germination and growth.

Green Ibis
The images wouldn’t have won any awards, but they were good enough to identify the bird as a Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis). The species wasn’t seen again until November 2022, ten years later.

The Coastal Challenge
The Coastal Challenge (05-10 February), one of the world’s most grueling, scenic, and exciting long-distance stage races, takes place in our backyard – showcasing the area’s rich biodiversity, stunning scenery, and unspoiled beaches.

Tumeric
Turmeric works best in conjunction with fat and black pepper. You can also buy it capsulated at the pharmacy, but I prefer it fresh from the farmers market or from my own garden, where it grows and thrives.

The Moon, Part 1
Something subtle yet magical about the Moon makes us wonder and marvel at its presence. The Moon in astrology represents our emotions and how we process them, our ancestry and our past, the subconscious and deeper aspects of our psyche.
