Okay, David, tell us
a little about where we are.
-
Well, we are in one
of the biological reserves
-
called Caño Island.
-
This is one of the most important reserves
we have in the Pacific Coast
-
of Costa Rica, which is located
in our country's southwest.
-
The preservation
done here is very important
-
because some species that are found here
-
cannot be found
in the Pacific Coast anymore
-
due to the effects
of the El Niño phenomenon.
-
Among them, we also have
other, very important species
-
where one can see multicolor fish.
-
Among them, we have parrot fish.
-
We also have reef sharks,
whitetip and blacktip
-
and a wide variety of stingrays.
-
It's a quite ideal place and,
as you can see, very exotic
-
for our colleagues' visits
-
and they can enjoy the beach,
they can enjoy a great variety
-
of fish, as I was saying, right?
-
And it's quite a pleasant place,
because when the humpback whales
-
come visit us from the south of Costa Rica
-
sorry, from the world
-
they pass through here, so this visit,
which is very important in this area
-
also makes it very important that they can
-
try and visit the area.
-
Perfect.
-
There are important details...
-
There are important details
from the island we can highlight
-
which have about 300 terrestrial hectares
and about 5,800 marine hectares
-
which form
one of the most important areas.
-
The place we went today,
where we went snorkeling
-
is the area where it is allowed.
-
Doing any kind of activity is not allowed
-
on the back of the island
because it is reserved
-
for proper studies.
-
Other important characteristics
we have in the area
-
belonging to the Caño Island forest
-
is that there is an archeological site,
which is somewhat symbolic
-
of the cultural heritage that we have.
-
A great mystery, since we still don't know
-
how these people
-
our ancestors, could sail the distance
from where we were
-
in Sierpe to this spot
with stone spheres of a high tonnage.
-
So, welcome whenever you like,
we'll be expecting you.
-
Thank you. Cut!
