ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

2014 - Whale & Dolphin Festival • Festival de Ballenas y Delfines in Bahía-Uvita - Costa Ballena of Osa, Costa Rica


“September Month of the Whales - Costa Rica”

 6th Annual

Festival de Ballenas y Delfines
Whales and Dolphins Festival
2014

 in Bahía-Uvita - Costa Ballena of Osa


DATES • DIA:
Fridays to Sundays - September 5-7 and September 12-14, 2014

WHERE • DONDE:
Parque Nacional Marino Ballena  -  MarinoBallena.org
(on the Southern Pacific end of Costa Rica)

The Festival will not only have an environmental approach; it will also have a tinge of community development. The idea is that all businesses may benefit, from Dominical to Ojochal.

The festival wants to promote tourism in our country whalewatching.  The festival is a meeting point for everyone in Costa Rica may know as valuable natural resource such as whales. The whale watching activity develops in quiet, responsible and fun. The benefits of shared learning and dissemination of whales and whale watching, brings as an alternative to include our community in Bahia Ballena "list of places to be visited."

El festival desea promover en nuestro país el turismo de observación de ballenas  El festival es un punto de reunión para que todas las personas en Costa Rica puedan conocer el recurso natural tan valioso como lo son las ballenas. La actividad de observación de ballenas se desarrolla de manera tranquila, responsable y divertida. Las ventajas de la experiencia compartida y la difusión de las ballenas y el avistamiento de cetáceos, nos trae como una alternativa la inclusión de nuestra comunidad Bahia Ballena en la “lista de lugares que deben ser visitados”.


This joint effort will result in a renewed and attractive festival and is being organized by 3 local entities:
Marine Ballena National Park Associations of Tour Operators and Guides

Development Association of Bahia and Uvita (ADI)


Chamber of Tourism and Commerce of Costa Ballena de Osa

CACOBA - CostaBallena.wordpress.com

with the support of
MINAE, the security forces, the Tourist Police, the Osa Municipality, the Coast Guard, and the Cruz Roja•Red Cross.
