Costa Ricans are serious about land protection and preservation. If you go, you’ll find that more than one-fourth of the land has been set aside as parks and reserves.

This is a valiant effort from the government to safeguard the land against deforestation and logging.

#bornonthisday Isabel Vargas Lizano (17 April 1919 – 5 August 2012), better known as #ChavelaVargaswas a Costa Rican singer.

She was especially known for her rendition of Mexican rancheras, but she is also recognized for her contribution to other genres of popular Latin American music.

[Vargas herself, was alleged to have had an affair with Frida Kahlo]

She was an influential interpreter in the Americas and Europe, muse to many figures, hailed for her haunting performances, and called "la voz áspera de la ternura", 'the rough voice of tenderness'.

The Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, presented her with a Latin Grammy in 2007. Wikipedia

In the shop now: An authentic, vintage, hand-painted & signed Costa Rican “carreta” in a smaller size suitable for a serving cart in a covered deck or patio area. Complete with matching, painted wooden handled box and grid for serving and holding bottles. As an added bonus, the cart can be completely disassembled and reassembled like a puzzle.

Larger ox carts became a significant means of transportation for rural Costa Ricans after they were introduced to the area circa 1840. Farmers used ox carts to transport valuable crops like coffee beans or sugar cane. The carreta was valued for its ability to maneuver over all types of hazardous terrain.

Over the centuries, cars & trucks replaced the ox cart as transportation. However, ox carts then gained new life as a celebrated form of artwork. The ox cart has even taken on a symbolic significance, commemorating Costa Rica traditions and agricultural history, and was officially declared a national symbol of Costa Rica some 30 years ago. Visitors to Costa Rica can witness carretas in all their traditional glory during the "Día del Boyero" (Day of the Drover) parade, which is held in the city of Escazú every year on the second Sunday in March.

Carretas are now decorated with bright colors and intricate designs. They often boast floral motifs, and the wheels are emblazoned with mandala-like patterns. The artisans who craft carretas also painstakingly choose the pieces of wood from which the wheels will be crafted, specifically so that the carts will make a pleasant sound as they roll through the streets. The wheels consist of sixteen wedge-shaped pieces of wood arranged in a circle and bound with a metal ring.

This example features cheerful colors on a black background. It is in good vintage condition. Come check it out at Folklore Emporium in Ruckersville Gallery. #costarican #carreta #cart #margaritacart #patiocart #servingcart #paintedfurniture #folkart #ruckersvillegallery #cvillevintage #albemarlecounty #virginiavintage #charlottesville #folkloreemporium

still laughing about how walmart did a 50% discount on all beers and costaricans went in droves to buy beers like it was toilet paper andw e were in the first weeks of covid lockdown again

on Tiktok about a year ago i made a post of "costarican magical girls but only using national animals" today i think i will revamp the series cause honestly this is just Fun.

Yiguirros(idk how to accent on my pc,deal with it) are the national birds. Their singing is meant to signify the coming of rain, which is what made them coffee plantantions best friends. Their song is super sweet and it can be heard in the early mornings. Sadly because of "pest control" Zanate(kind of a crow thingy?) was introduced into our ecosystem. And this sweet birds numbers have decreased a lot :c.

Tune in next week for the manatee and the story of the greatest boxer of Costa Rica.

dash dict 001: hueco (español guatemalteco)

so today i learned a new slur! but only for guatemala (and i’ve never gone there so.) ((no damage??))

translation: [the english anti-gay f-slur], “hole”

cute example: a costarican (meaning does not translate there) saying there’s many holes in the road, “huecos en la calle”, and a guatemalan saying “oh you know, times have changed…”

cute example 2: a mom talking about a kid that might be gay to her own kid, “es medio huequito ¿no?”

Zarate Miku! 🦚

(appearing in the middle of the jungle to offer you a cup of aguadulce in this trying times 👏)

I wanted to post this on the 15th but, hey, we're on the last day of September, Costa Rica's patriotic month, so it still counts 😤

I also wanted to participate in the worldwide Miku trend, but it felt like all the cool takes were already made when it comes to "Costa Rican Miku", so, I just did a portrait with a witchy-esque vibe~

Also, the hair turning into water is a little reference to our "Rio Celeste", a beautiful river which is actually cian/turquoise ❤

Recently I bought something through Amazon for the first time. It was this book, Al Maez:

It's was written by a CostaRican guy who joined the US army and was send to Irak after 9/11. The book is based on his experiences.

Gotta say, I see the appeal of buying in Amazon, is very convenient and you can find stuff that's not sold in Costa Rica, like this book.

Already ordered a couple more books.
