As locals have felt an implodus of people flooding the coast, along with the seemingly never ending rains, we are left to think about what makes this area a cornerstone. Costa Ballena would not be what it is without it’s community. The people are who make it the gem that it is. The local vibe is unlike no other. Our farmer’s markets have regained sergeancy post covid, and it’s great to have live music events start back up. Here’s what else is on our not to miss in the zone.
Dabble in Culture in Costa Rica
We are fortunate to have what is left of raw Costa Rican culture. Whether it’s a visit to a coffee farm, the Borucan Indigenous lands or the Finca VI spheres in Palmar, it is but a taste of what Costa Rica is all about.
Get in Touch with Nature in Costa Ballena
Go beyond the beaten path, where the wild things are. You may see tapirs, jaguars and anteaters. And you are sure to spot monkeys, crocodiles, either a scarlet macaw or green parrots, and maybe a sloth. Snakes are abundant, as are tree frogs and agouti and pizotes.
Get Back to Basics with Your Breath
Listen to the rain as it falls on the tin roof. Hear the birds sing while you meditate, is that bird singing “kiss for me?” Slow down and hone in on your own heartbeat, the blood pulsing through your veins. Take root in the present moment and breathe in and out. You are here and now. Quite lovely isn’t it?
