Description
Living traditions and intimate connections between man and nature are encouraged in Costa Rica.
Synopsis
Episode 1: CONNECTED WITH THE EARTH– The Bribri tribe efforts to maintain their original language, traditions, and independence firmly connected with a fully self-sufficient life in the jungle are truly exceptional. The natural respect that the Bribri has for nature was even been adopted by foreigners who settled permanently in Costa Rica.
Episode 2: JUNGLE STORY– The Costa Rica jungle is home to over half a million species. Costa Ricans are well aware of their extraordinary natural wealth, and they protect their treasure with an exceptional range of national parks and protected areas. The jungle can, however, be dangerous.
Episode 3: THE CALL OF THE OCEAN– Costa Rica’s coastline and the sea that bathes it are as sought after as the unbounded nature inland. Despite constant threats of danger, female olive ridley sea turtles return here year after year to lay their eggs… and the baby turtles make their way to the sea to test the strength of the Pacific Ocean currents.
