Relocation Hotspot: Atenas
I spotted a three-toed sloth out my bedroom window the other day. The fuzzy gray mass was slowly ascending one of the cecropia trees that frame our property. I'd expect to see one of Costa Rica's most iconic mammals in the jungles of Tortuguero or perhaps Manuel Antonio, but right here in Atenas? My hometown is best described as a slice of quintessential small town Costa Rica. Located on the western edge of the Central Valley, it's a lively community made famous by National Geographic's title for having "The World's Best Climate." And along with great weather (daily averages 77- 86 F) and tropical breezes comes amazing wildlife -- often right in your own backyard.
