¿Qué Pasa en Quepos? – September & October 2016

Bienvenidos…Welcome to the Rain forest, green season has arrived. So enjoy the peace of it and the greenness it provides. Our mornings are normally beautiful the rain comes later in the day so get moving early and maybe an afternoon nap (guilt free when it rains haha). Are restaurants and tour companies are in full swing to make your stay here unforgettable and without the crowds more enjoyable. Marina Pez Vela offers outstanding restaurants and tours. Great shopping and MOST important this time of year underground parking and shuttle service. We recommended calling ahead to our fine restaurants beforehand because some will be closing for a quick holiday for themselves and staff. Always love this time of year being from the US I always look forward to the start of the NFL season. Catch all the games at Barba Roja and Byblos on the mountain. Hawg and Bills and El Sol at the beach.

We want to congratulate the Costa Rican Surf Team, Noe Mar McGonagle , and Jaco for an outstanding ISA Aloha Cup World Championship. The Tico team took the bronze in team competition. Noe Mar McGonagle brought home the bronze for Costa Rica in the individuals. We were fortunate enough to be there for the finals and Jaco deserves the Gold medal for hosting. The town was packed with surf fans from around the world and ended with a Cultura Profetica concert rocking the beach.

Costa Rica celebrates their 195th year of Independence on Sept. 15. Quepos will be having its parade with children in traditional costumes, floats and festive marching bands. So if you are in the area come celebrate with a country that truly appreciate their Independence….Pura Vida

We would like to thank Boris Marchegiani for our cover shot of one of the first babies born as part of the Scarlet Macaw reintroduction program at Gaia Hotel and Reserve. We also thank all its staff members and veterinarians Chris Castles and Ana Maria Torres for their work and dedication to bringing this beautiful species back into the skies of Manuel Antonio.

October 31 is Halloween so get your costumes ready for fright night in the jungle. Marina Pez Vela will be having a Halloween Bash as well as many bar and restaurants around Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

Also want to welcome our new advertisers Blue Restaurant & Social Lounge and Pura Vida Pest Control to our pages.
