Green Season at Latitude 10 Resort, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Posted on 05/14/2013 by admin

In May, the rainy season starts. Sunny mornings and rainy afternoons is the common pattern in Santa Teresa. The sound of the rain makes you sleep comfortably in your suite. Also you will notice several changes in nature come together at this time.  The Pochote (Bombacopsis quinata) trees start growing their leaves and share their shade with us. Hundreds of Halloween crabs (Gecarcinus quadratus) make their way to the ocean to breed. Our gardens get greener making you feel more into the wild but still with first class service.  And if you are a surfer … this is the best time for great wave sessions.

The tropical forest is waiting for you at Latitude 10 Resort, come and join us.

Fill a plastic bottle and have a 2×1 smoothie

Posted on 04/29/2013 by admin

Sadly, plastic trash is seen more and more along our coast. The currents are bringing to the beach lots of small pieces that can be found along the coast.  Plastic is turning into the #1 sea life enemy; turtles, crabs mollusks and fish are getting confused and are consuming these materials and getting poison.

At Latitude 10 Resort, we encourage our guests to pick up this trash, fill a bottle with it and we give a 2 x 1 of any of our delicious smoothies. We already have lots of these bottles in our collection filled with lighters, straws, little toys, caps etc.

Come down to Latitude 10 Resort, re-use plastic, recycle and have fun with us and help us create an ocean without trash.

Carbunco/Headlight Beetle in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Posted on 04/19/2013 by admin

The headlight beetle or Carbunco (Pyrophorus) is a bioluminescent insect. They have two luminescent spots at the posterior corners that you can see easy at night.  They are found in the tropical and subtropical America. They can be seen around Latitude 10 Resort during the night, feeding on pollen and sometimes small insects, such as aphids or scale insects.

So pay attention at night when you are near your room or walking along the hotel paths… if you see two green bright lights, it is the Head light Beetle passing through.
