This edition:
Howler’s December issue reframes “America” as a hemisphere, not a single nation, through a lived-in Costa Rican lens where adventure, culture, entertainment, wildlife, real estate, business, and food all belong to the same continental story. We spotlight “The Children of Costa Rica,” confronting poverty, learning gaps, health challenges, and trafficking—and showing how residents and expats can help through advocacy and hands-on community work.

Travel and conservation threads run throughout: Diamante Eco Adventure Park models sustainable tourism and wildlife rescue; El Farallón’s Corobicí petroglyphs connect visitors to deep time; and a feature explains why Costa Rica’s ecotourism ethos works—and how travelers can participate responsibly. Safety and mobility matter as 2025 closes: road deaths, motorcycle risks, Marchamo fees, EV behavior, and liability rules get plainly explained.
We chase waves on a dawn-to-dusk surf trek with CHE, and back on shore, SWIM SAFE’s national effort brings lifesaving swim lessons to coastal communities.
December festivities—Marian devotions, Las Posadas, Noche Buena, Hanukkah gatherings, Festival de la Luz—invite respectful participation and delicious discovery.
History and policy anchor the edition: San Lucas Island’s prison past, “Top 10 Challenges for 2026,” holiday giving, and Fonafifo’s PES engine behind forest recovery. Lifestyle features range from vegan dining, sinus-savvy travel, and beach-party fashion to investor guidance on corporations, solar rules, Spanish soda menus, guanábana science, and almond-butter bliss. Wildlife pages sing with oropendolas, returning scarlet macaws, and the mussurana—the shy snake that keeps vipers in check.
