Howler is excited to congratulate Costa Rica on its bicentennial anniversary of Independence Day, September 15, 2021. Check out our commemorative cover stories highlighting Tico national symbols, with a special tribute to the beloved sloth’s new status as number 16 on the list. Links are provided to many past magazine articles about specific national symbols, including this month’s Cultural Heritage feature on Costa Rica’s flag and coat of arms. Several business leaders join us in saluting the country’s proud achievements and bright future.
Travel & Adventure takes you to two historical hot spots, where unearthed discoveries still leave many unanswered questions about Costa Rica’s Pre-Columbian indigenous legacy: the Diquis spheres at Finca 6 and the Guayabo national monument site. Continuing our “wildlife in flight” theme from last month’s overview of beautiful birds, our September Creature Feature is “Written on the Wings of Butterflies.”
