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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

TOUIT App - Learn about Costa Rica's Biodiversity at your fingertips (from your SmartPhone)

The Biodiversity of Costa Rica at your fingertips

Never before finding species of Costa Rica had been easier. Browse through the “Map”, “Areas”, “Species”, and “Did You Know?” icons, where you can find biodiversity of our country at a single touch.
Touit is a quick guide for those interested in learning more about biodiversity, allowing users to view information of about 500 species that are easily seen in the country, including images, text, distribution maps and georeference.

The name of this app is inspired by Touit Costarricenses, an endangered bird that flies along the Talamanca Mountain Range. This parrotlet, as well as our application, is 100% Costa Rican and also has a very appealing!

NOTE:  I THINK this is an "APP" (application) JUST for Smart Phones like iPhones, Samsungs, Androids.

Also, even though the website has an "English" button (top left corner), I have a feeling the text once uploaded is just in Spanish so you might have to know the words in Español for what you're seeking.
ENGLISH:  Touit.cr/en  •  ESPANOL:  Touit.cr


This looks like a GREAT thing for Locals Living in Costa Rica and Tourists (that can read Español!)!!
