That one can build a comfortable and modern home with bamboo, a natural material at a favorable price, was proven by the Costa Rican architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe with his prize-winning house. Costa Rica, quite differently than a lot of other destinations, addresses a range of tourist groups. There are those who specifically seek peace and rest in nature, others who just want to have a nice time on the beach and, there are also the adventurers who gladly weave their vacation with activities. In this edition, we include a few exciting activities that one will surely think back on a long time after the vacation ends. Readers can book these activities at an especially good price in our shop (www.costarica-spirits/activities). Furthermore, we’d like to draw your attention to the south of Costa Rica, to a rain forest that, due to the engagement of a Viennese music professor and the association that he initiated, was preserved and even enlarged.
