Socio Cultural Group: Discovering a new way of life

As we embarked on our journey through the Monteverde region, the grasslands, and then here to Catie, a general trend that we noticed is that the people are quite humble and less refined. The natural beauty of its diverse landscape dazzled our senses. With such a small population, Costa Rican people, also referred to as “ticos” or “ticas,” are quite caring in their eagerness to share their resources with those in their community. Their way of life is simple, peaceful, family-oriented and fun loving. The people are extremely friendly and abundant with hospitality. It feels as if we left one world and stepped into another filled with diversity. Every day gives us something new and exciting; we’re constantly learning new things while having the time of our lives!!
