Costa
Rica: Raising the Bar for
Conservation
When traveling through Costa
Rica it’s best to emulate the
sloth. Take it slow, very slow.
Costa Rica requires maceration,
allowing time for her to soak
into your pores. On a recent
visit I received sage advice
from my guide, Luis Diego Soto:
“Close your eyes and listen.”
Listen to the voices of the
forests, mountains, rivers and
the life within. Listen to the
voices of the people.
