Costa Rica Lifestyle, Travel, Adventure and Business Magazine:

Howler’s June cover story digs deep into the earth-shattering forces that make Costa Rica so alluringly beautiful, and at times, disquieting, in the volcanic Ring of Fire.

Our Travel & Adventure section explores two destinations that are trickier than most to reach and navigate, but well worth the trip. Just a short, but hardly straightforward distance across the Panama border await the Caribbean isles of Bocas del Toro. Sometimes known as Costa Rica’s “other Osa,” Piedras Blancas National Park is no less breathtaking for its remoteness.

Our Arts-Culture-Entertainment (ACE) spotlight shines on just as much variety this month. Urban tourists can discover the vibrancy of indie film culture, revived and thriving at Sala Garbo in San José. We also look at the historical significance of Costa Rica’s oldest church being restored to its original grandeur in the heart of Nicoya.

Surfing CR profiles sibling teen champions Kai and Teo Gale Grani, and introduces readers to the skateboarding scene nationwide.

Pura Vida wellness topics range from commonly troublesome dietary ingredients and parasitic infections to conscious parenting and the yoga practice of balasana. The never-waning popularity of animal prints as a fashion trend is also highlighted.

How Guanacaste found its place on the W Escapes list of exclusive international resort locales is the cover story of this month’s CR Biz / Dining Guide flip magazine. We also congratulate the graduates of Reserva Conchal’s Dual Education Program and celebrate their potential to give back to the local community.

Not only has the W Costa Rica — Reserva Conchal added boldly authentic brushstrokes to the tourist sector landscape but also new colors to the foodie scene. Our Dining Guide cover story highlights the three new W Hotel restaurants at Reserva Conchal that are open to the public.

Costa Rica’s premier English-language magazine delivers all this and much more on business, lifestyle and other topics.
