The May issue of Howler showcases the modern history of a timelessly enchanting natural masterpiece, Los Quetzales National Park. Our cover story explores the glorious landscape of Costa Rica’s so-called Shangri-La from hidden valley to breathtaking mountaintop vantage points, including the “tropical alpine” habitat of rarely seen flora and fauna. But to fully appreciate the splendor of it all, we take you on a real-life road to Shambhala to the villages of Providencia and San Geraldo de Dota.
“Santa Teresa Time” looks at the charms of a laid-back beach locale where days can be whiled away doing whatever your heart desires. In contrast, the big-city bustle of San Jose’s Central Market is described as a multi-sensory experience not to be missed. Costa Rica’s premier English-language magazine delivers all this and much more on business, lifestyle, surfing and dining guide and other topics.
