1
00:00:28,976 --> 00:00:32,002
<i>Okay, David, tell us
a little about where we are.</i>

2
00:00:32,002 --> 00:00:35,696
Well, we are in one
of the biological reserves

3
00:00:36,009 --> 00:00:37,286
called Caño Island.

4
00:00:37,962 --> 00:00:41,524
This is one of the most important reserves
we have in the Pacific Coast

5
00:00:41,524 --> 00:00:45,404
of Costa Rica, which is located
in our country's southwest.

6
00:00:46,055 --> 00:00:48,424
The preservation
done here is very important

7
00:00:48,424 --> 00:00:51,128
because some species that are found here

8
00:00:51,128 --> 00:00:54,540
cannot be found
in the Pacific Coast anymore

9
00:00:54,540 --> 00:00:58,238
due to the effects
of the El Niño phenomenon.

10
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:01,547
Among them, we also have
other, very important species

11
00:01:01,547 --> 00:01:06,350
where one can see multicolor fish.

12
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:08,795
Among them, we have parrot fish.

13
00:01:08,832 --> 00:01:12,202
We also have reef sharks,
whitetip and blacktip

14
00:01:12,603 --> 00:01:15,455
and a wide variety of stingrays.

15
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:20,052
It's a quite ideal place and,
as you can see, very exotic

16
00:01:20,052 --> 00:01:23,688
for our colleagues' visits

17
00:01:23,688 --> 00:01:29,382
and they can enjoy the beach,
they can enjoy a great variety

18
00:01:29,382 --> 00:01:35,110
of fish, as I was saying, right?

19
00:01:35,433 --> 00:01:38,859
And it's quite a pleasant place,
because when the humpback whales

20
00:01:38,859 --> 00:01:43,198
come visit us from the south of Costa Rica

21
00:01:43,198 --> 00:01:44,629
sorry, from [inaudible]

22
00:01:46,041 --> 00:01:49,754
they pass through here, so this visit,
which is very important in this area

23
00:01:49,754 --> 00:01:52,990
also makes it very important that they can

24
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:54,539
try and visit the area.

25
00:01:57,029 --> 00:01:57,969
<i>Perfect</i>.

26
00:01:58,205 --> 00:02:01,717
There are important details...

27
00:02:03,213 --> 00:02:06,114
There are important details
from the island we can highlight

28
00:02:06,114 --> 00:02:11,543
which have about 300 terrestrial hectares
and about 5,800 marine hectares

29
00:02:12,284 --> 00:02:15,455
which form
one of the most important areas.

30
00:02:16,016 --> 00:02:19,607
The place we went today,
where we went snorkeling

31
00:02:19,607 --> 00:02:21,840
is the area where [inaudible] is allowed.

32
00:02:23,007 --> 00:02:26,128
Doing any kind of activity is not allowed

33
00:02:26,128 --> 00:02:28,497
on the back of the island
because it is reserved

34
00:02:28,497 --> 00:02:29,885
for proper studies.

35
00:02:30,831 --> 00:02:33,397
Other important characteristics
we have in the area

36
00:02:33,397 --> 00:02:36,646
belonging to the Caño Island forest

37
00:02:36,646 --> 00:02:41,511
is that there is an archeological site,
which is somewhat symbolic

38
00:02:41,511 --> 00:02:43,673
of the cultural heritage that we have.

39
00:02:43,673 --> 00:02:46,880
A great mystery, since we still don't know

40
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,252
how these people

41
00:02:50,252 --> 00:02:54,774
our ancestors, could sail the distance
from where we were

42
00:02:54,774 --> 00:02:59,959
in Sierpe to this spot
with stone spheres of a high tonnage.

43
00:03:01,402 --> 00:03:04,993
So, welcome

44
00:03:07,424 --> 00:03:09,101
