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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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!!

DONATE:

CEREMONIA DE TEMAZCAL
 facebook.com/events/946521998751131

Saturday - September 13 - 10am to
Sunday - September 14 at 2:00pm
A temazcal [temasˈkal] is a type of sweat lodge which originated with pre-Hispanic Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl word temāzcalli /temaːsˈkalːi/ ("house of heat") or possibly from the Aztec teme (to bathe) and calli (house). Temazcal in English is also written as temezcal, temascal, or temescal. In ancient Mesoamerica it was used as part of a curative ceremony thought to purify the body after exertion such as after a battle or a ceremonial ball game. It was also used for healing the sick, improving health, and for women to give birth. It continues to be used today in Indigenous cultures of Mexico and Central America that were part of the ancient Mesoamerican region for spiritual and health reasons. It is currently being recovered by all sectors of society in that part of the world and is used as a cleansing of mind, body and spirit.
habrá degustación de alimentos saludables y café verde para todos los asistentes.

DIRECTIONS:

FROM SJO AIRPORT:
From the traffic circle at the airport (Holiday Inn Express, Rosti Pollos, Denny’s, La Fiesta)
Take the road to Heredia (it is parallel to the auto pista)
Turn LEFT in 1 km:
(Landmarks: 1st traffic light, see Pizzaria Italiana and Hotel Backpacker on left)

Go up very small hill, down toward the right, cross a speed bump and small bridge
Then stay Left at every possibility for about 350 meters

ANOTHER WAY I SAW
About 600 meters from the traffic light (North of the Super Santiago) you'll come to a fork in the road.

On your Left you'll see a bamboo fence.
Enter at the 1st gate which says "Flor de Mayo"

FROM SAN JOSE:
After the toll booth - just before the airport at the Light•Traffic Circle (on your right is RostiPollo, Denny's, a Casino and 2 hotels) - get into the Right lane and turn into the traffic circle take the 1st RIGHT turn/exit and follow directions above.

FROM HEREDIA:
(Landmarks - Pass La Florida beer factory, then pass the Pacific gas station).
See small blue and white police station on the right, this is just prior to the 2nd traffic light where you turn right.
If you pass the Pizzeria Italiana and Hotel Backpacker you have gone too far.
Follow directions above

TAXI LANDMARK
In Rio Segundo de Alajuela
It is at the corner where you turn to go to La Careta, (cruz de La Carreta )
the gate is on the left with the bamboo fence, and gate says Flor de Mayo
