Anyone on the Nicoya Peninsula on September 16, 2010 certainly felt “that”. At 9:27am, with a roar like a low-flying 747, a 5.3 earthquake rattled the area. It was centered about 5 miles offshore from Montezuma and Cabuya and only 13 kms (8 miles) deep. Several “aftershocks” between 2.5 and 4.3 occurred over the next few days, plus many hours of barely perceptible “grumbling”. Fortunately no serious damage or injuries resulted. Two much bigger 'quakes have occurred; a 7.7 in 1950, and a 7.0 in 1990, which although frightening, caused relatively little damage, because the area was much less developed with a smaller population. Today, those same earthquakes would cause widespread property damage and injury. | | No comments for this item |

On Saturday 3rd April, 2010, a group of yogis and yoginis gathered on the deck at the stunning Anamaya Resort & Retreat Center. As darkness fell, the resort's gifted and inspiring yoga instructor, Daniella Cotreau, led us through a wondrous heart-opening practice, while mother nature provided the most beautiful backdrop and soundtrack we could have hoped for. Followed with a song and chant of prayers for peace, by special guest Adam Bolton, and topped off with a delicious organic feast prepared by the resort's chef, it was a beautiful evening.

 “Chunches del Mar” Art Festival in Montezuma
celebrates its 10th anniversary!
“Chunches de Mar” is an ART-CAMP festival which gathers national and international artists into a place where almond trees, waves and wildlife are the main driving force of creation. Furthermore, the artists from the Central Valley are encouraged to create their art work using the plastic waste, which is, unfortunately, washed up every day on the shores of this beautiful beach in the “Mixed Wildlife Refuge Romelia (RMVSR)”.
