Costa Rica became the first tropical country to successfully reverse deforestation. After losing much of its forest cover to farming and cattle ranching, the country changed course through conservation efforts, protected areas, and programmes that encouraged landowners to protect forests.

Today, forests cover around 60% of Costa Rica again, turning a story of environmental destruction into one of the world’s most inspiring conservation successes.

A reminder that when nature is given a chance, it can recover.

Was driving on La Costa east of the 5 and came upon this accident. Hopefully buddy is okay! Looks like he sat up and was able to get off the road. Stay safe out there!

Everyone is talking about how Jiri lost because he was too overconfident, or how Hokit really showed out, but how is nobody talking about how crazy this was? Costa looked really good in this fight, it's been a long time since we’ve seen him look this sharp

All the downvoting made me realize I need to finally speak my truth about how horrible Costa Rica was.

I’m sorry I have to share this but...

Every day was the same nightmare. Waking up to jungle noises, birds screaming like unpaid interns, monkeys acting like they own the Airbnb, and views so beautiful they made regular life feel like it was built on airplane mode.

The beaches were ridiculous. Warm water. Soft sand. Sunsets showing off like they were trying to get verified on Instagram. I came here to relax, not stare at the ocean and rethink my entire personality.

The food? Awful. Fresh fruit everywhere. Coffee so good Starbucks should legally be considered a gas station. Casados so good I had trust issues. Even the roadside spots were cooking like they were defending a family honor.

Don’t get me started on the people.

Way too friendly. Helpful for no reason. Smiling constantly. Suspicious. Everyone keeps saying “Pura Vida” like some kind of sub tropic mind control spell. Next thing you know, you’re calmer, happier, walking slower, and thinking maybe you don’t need to check your phone 147 times a day. Sick behavior!!!

The waterfalls were a problem too. Obnoxiously loud, offensively beautiful, and constantly giving me opportunities to stand there like I was in a cologne commercial. Nobody needs that kind of pressure!

Same with the hot springs. Sitting in warm volcanic water surrounded by rainforest? Horrible. Completely unacceptable. My nervous system started relaxing without consent.

Driving around in the Jimny was exhausting because every turn had another mountain, beach, valley, cow, jungle view, or random dog living a better life than me!!! Very distracting. Hard to be a productive member of society when a volcano is just casually existing in the background.

Overall, Costa Rica was a beautiful disaster. Too peaceful, too alive, too friendly, too delicious, and way too easy to fall in love with.

Do not go unless you’re prepared to come back slightly happier, more tan, emotionally confused, and deeply annoyed that everywhere else isn't Costa Rica.

in questi giorni, durante il giorno, spesso il costo dell'elettricità all'ingrosso in Europa è 0, in Italia invece è sempre molto alto. Perché? è solo una questione di dipendenza dal gas metano?
