In Costa Rica our three main mountain ranges (Tilarán, Central and Talamanca) constitute a geographic barrier that separates the Caribbean and Pacific populations of Fer-de-lance, and striking differences exist between individuals from opposite sides of the country.

Females from the Caribbean slope populations measure on average 167cm (66 inches), their smaller Pacific counterparts measure on average 142 cm (56 inches). There is also a distinct size difference between male and female individuals of all populations, on average females are 20% to 25% longer than males. Since the litter size of these live-bearing snakes is positively correlated with the female’s body size, ferdelances on the Caribbean slope give birth to more young than on the pacific side of the country. This species is extremely prolific, litter size ranges from 5 to 86 babies.

Juvenile Bothrops asper predominantly eat frogs and lizards while adults feed on birds and mammals, taking prey up to the size of opossums or rabbits.

It is coffee harvest season in our country.

Costa Rica offers some of the best coffee beans in the world, and my friend Tomas Gutierrez knows it well. He is one the finest producers of coffee in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. This region offers ideal conditions that allow coffee plants to grow beans with body and exquisite flavors.

The Central Valley of Costa Rica, also called the Grand Metropolitan Area, is located in the center of the country.

This region is ideal for coffee plantations and for all sorts of agricultural crops due to the rich volcanic soils found there, and although this is the most densely populated area of Costa Rica, you can still find pristine spots not far from its main cities.

Most travel agents and tour operators won’t take you there, many of them don’t even know this places exist, others have heard of them but they have never taken the time to explore them, being a true travel designer requires hours in the outdoors.

Many of our competitors just sell the easy path to our visitors, which ends up in mediocre experiences to the tourists that travel the world to visit our country.

La Reserva Biológica El Copal, es miembro de la Asociación Costarricense de Turismo Rural Comunitario (ACTUAR), esta asociación tiene como propósito promover la sostenibilidad ambiental, social, cultural y económica de las iniciativas de turismo rural comunitario en el país.

Cada persona que realiza un viaje mediante la modalidad de turismo rural comunitario tendrá no solo la oportunidad de conocer las bellezas naturales de Costa Rica, sino también los modos de vida y la cultura del lugar que visitan.

Esta forma de turismo contrasta considerablemente con el actual modelo de desarrollo turístico que predomina a nivel mundial, el cual tiene impactos negativos sobre la cultura, el medio ambiente y las economías locales. El turismo rural comunitario se basa en el respeto a la comunidad anfitriona y al medio ambiente.

El Copal es un excelente ejemplo de esta modalidad de turismo de bajo impacto, además esta reserva biológica es un lugar maravilloso para disfrutar de la observación de aves y para realizar caminatas por senderos que atraviesan el bosque lluvioso de la vertiente caribe.

Las siguientes 10 especies de aves fueron nuestras favoritas durante el fin de semana pasado:

1. Snowcap
2. Yellow eared Toucanet
3. Golden winged Warbler
4. Brown billed Scythebill
5. Collared Trogon
6. Tawny capped Euphonia
7. Wilson´s Warbler
8. Speckled Tanager
9. Tropical Parula
10 Rufous tailed Jacamar

In recent years Pavones has had an increase in lodges and vacation rentals. Nowadays, there is confort just steps away from the second longest left wave in the world.

Since its discovery, Pavones has been a surfers Mecca, thousands of surfers visit this beach every year during its season (March - October). In fact, the economy of this small town depends solely on surf tourism.

In the future, this stylish, modern and confortable homes will be the spot for our guests.

Often while traveling through Costa Rica, we take time to get to know new properties, ecolodges and hotels, we are happy to have found this one.

Last week the family asked me if I could plan an expedition to the highest peak of Costa Rica, Cerro Chirripó (3820 meters / 12533 feet); I couldn’t be happier with the request, my answer was “yes, let’s do it during the next dry season, around a full moon”.

Even though Chirripó is a dwarf when compare to the highest peaks in the Himalayas (Everest, K2, Makalu, Lhotse) all above 8000 meters /26 000 feet, there is great satisfaction in reaching the highest point of Costa Rica. The views at the summit of Chirripó can be spectacular on a cloudless day, allowing hikers to see the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

The trek to Chirripó’s summit begins in San Gerardo de Rivas, a mountain village located 21 km northeast of Pérez Zeledón, where a variety of lodges are set near the park entrance. The best thing is to arrive in San Gerardo the day before the trek, once there, one immediately feels the mountain atmosphere, the fresh air and the hot cups of coffee taste 100 times better than at sea level.

Our first full day will consist of a hike of 14km, mostly uphill, to Crestones Base Camp. This base camp is located inside the national park, this is where all hikers sleep, eat, rest and bath, before or after reaching the summit. This camp sits an altitude of 3000 meters (9840 feet), and due to the lack of light pollution at Chirripó, the night’s sky glimmers with stars.

During our second full day, it is about 5km from the base camp to the summit, with the last stretch being a steep-angle climb to reach the very top. We will begin the summit push at 330am, in order to reach top at sunrise. Our third full day will be for the descend back to civilization, where man made noises can be perceived again, by the way, one of the most beautiful aspects of the highlands is the absence of noise.

Horizon family, we will start training 2 months before Chirripó, first here in the Nicoya peninsula, then in the mountains of San Ramón, and perhaps in the Cloud Forest of Monteverde as well, quick one-night expeditions to get the legs in hiking shape.

The Farm tour (Blue Zones Experience) allows our guests to enjoy an inside look at the simple way Costa Ricans live in the rural areas of the country. Lifestyles considerable different to the ones lived in the cities of Costa Rica or at the multicultural surf towns along the pacific coast, where a dozen different languages are spoken, and where words such as yoga, surfing, wellness, million-dollar ocean view properties, gourmet gastronomy, climate change, pranayama, veganism, fasting and full moon meditations, are in everyone’s mouth daily.

Blue Zones is a concept used to identify a demographic and/or geographic area of the world where people live measurably longer lives. In Costa Rica, the Nicoya Peninsula is one of those areas. The residents of these regions live healthier and longer lives, produce a high rate of centenarians and suffer a fraction of the diseases that commonly kill people in other parts of the developed world.

Here Jay and family enjoying a day away from human civilization modernity.

Thanks for showing me the area of Mastatal and for helping me find the quiet rare White crested Coquette (Lophornis adorabilis).

This hummingbird has a restricted range, it is only found in the pacific lowlands and foothills of Costa Rica and in western Panamá.

Royal Flycatcher. Captures dragonflies, butterflies, homopterans and other insects. Beats larger prey against perch to remove wings, solitary except in pairs when nesting. Often spread their crest widely while preening especially in the rain. A male occasionally gives the full head-swaying display while approaching his mate or repelling an intruding bird from their nest. #birding #birdwatching #costarica #curuwildliferefuge #royalflycatcher #birdwatchingcostarica #avesdecostarica #aves

The golden hour | Santa Teresa Even though waves tend to be small at this time of year, having the right equipment can help us have a lot of fun out of the small surf. This is as well the best time to learn to surf in the pacific coast of Costa Rica. #surfingcostarica #surf #santateresa #sunset #sunsetcostarica #waves #costarica🇨🇷
