  • 0:29 - 0:32
    Okay, David, tell us
    a little about where we are.
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    Well, we are in one
    of the biological reserves
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    called Caño Island.
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    This is one of the most important reserves
    we have in the Pacific Coast
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    of Costa Rica, which is located
    in our country's southwest.
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    The preservation
    done here is very important
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    because some species that are found here
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    cannot be found
    in the Pacific Coast anymore
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    due to the effects
    of the El Niño phenomenon.
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Among them, we also have
    other, very important species
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    where one can see multicolor fish.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    Among them, we have parrot fish.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    We also have reef sharks,
    whitetip and blacktip
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    and a wide variety of stingrays.
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    It's a quite ideal place and,
    as you can see, very exotic
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    for our colleagues' visits
  • 1:24 - 1:29
    and they can enjoy the beach,
    they can enjoy a great variety
  • 1:29 - 1:35
    of fish, as I was saying, right?
  • 1:35 - 1:39
    And it's quite a pleasant place,
    because when the humpback whales
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    come visit us from the south of Costa Rica
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    sorry, from the world
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    they pass through here, so this visit,
    which is very important in this area
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    also makes it very important that they can
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    try and visit the area.
  • 1:57 - 1:58
    Perfect.
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    There are important details...
  • 2:03 - 2:06
    There are important details
    from the island we can highlight
  • 2:06 - 2:12
    which have about 300 terrestrial hectares
    and about 5,800 marine hectares
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    which form
    one of the most important areas.
  • 2:16 - 2:20
    The place we went today,
    where we went snorkeling
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    is the area where it is allowed.
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    Doing any kind of activity is not allowed
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    on the back of the island
    because it is reserved
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    for proper studies.
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    Other important characteristics
    we have in the area
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    belonging to the Caño Island forest
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    is that there is an archeological site,
    which is somewhat symbolic
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    of the cultural heritage that we have.
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    A great mystery, since we still don't know
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    how these people
  • 2:50 - 2:55
    our ancestors, could sail the distance
    from where we were
  • 2:55 - 3:00
    in Sierpe to this spot
    with stone spheres of a high tonnage.
  • 3:01 - 3:05
    So, welcome whenever you like,
    we'll be expecting you.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    Thank you. Cut!
