Marina Pez Vela

What’s Shaking at Marina Pez Vela – September/October 2018

What's Shaking headerMES DE LA PATRIA!!!
Like any good holiday in Costa Rica, and for some of us like our birthdays, September 15th is not about just a one day celebration but a MONTH LONG party for this amazing country we call home! That’s right, Faroles, Cimarronas, flags and patriotism is going to be the theme all month, but September has some other news in store for our Marina Pez Vela family and our community at large and we look forward to seeing the local community here at the marina soon.
Independence Day Activities
TYPICAL DANCE PRESENTATIONS BY SOME OF OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS
September 13
The events will start at 4pm and will feature several of our local escuelas doing presentations of typical Costa Rican Dance, folklore and dress. For many expats and tourist, who come to Costa Rica for its iconic beauty, the opportunity to learn a bit about the history, culture and pride which each Costa Rican has for this amazing nation is a WONDERFUL experience. There is something so special to see the families reliving the passing on the Independence Day traditions, lore, music and dance and do not miss this wonderful day to share and integrate with our international and local community at the Marina.

LIVE MUSIC WITH SON DE TIQUIZIA
September 15, 5:30-9:30pm
This is the actual Independence Day and this national group will be playing from around the sunset on until 9:30pm to create a festive and fun environment here for all to enjoy. All of our restaurants will be open and in the Independence Day spirit with specials for locals and tourists alike, so come hungry, thirsty and ready to dance a bit under the stars or the rain, as is sometimes the tradition on the 15th of September.
WHALES, WHALES AND MORE WHALES
What was once a relatively unknown phenomenon here in the area has become a real boom for our low season in the area. The whale migration which we get to experience here right off our coast is becoming a national and international phenomenon and we invite all our local community and visiting guests to take the opportunity to experience these majestic animals in what is the longest migration of any animal on the planet. We are blessed to have these enormous creatures on the waters JUST OUTSIDE of the marina and we have organized opportunities for people from all walks of life to be able to experience this magical time of year. If you would like information on booking a whale watching experience, please reach out to the team at ifishquepos.com or come to our offices at the marina, and our concierge can assist with catamaran tours, private boat tours and any custom experience, but this is a GREAT family activity and one that is unforgettable.
