I'm so grateful for your support so that this could be published. I'm so impressed by your writing, by the way you understood it and expressed it. You managed to capture the way I feel, as well as the work and objectives of our organization. Thank you so much.
Hernán RamírezManager of the Posada Rural y Escuela Ambiental Nacientes Palmichal
Every day, El Colectivo 506 elevates diverse voices, small businesses and tiny communities that are the heart of rural life and tourism in Costa Rica. While I know well the extraordinary passion, expertise and unwavering commitment of its three women founders, I remain in total awe of what they have accomplished and how they have inspired so many others to ‘hop on the bus’ and share their stories since El Colectivo 506 was born less than six months ago!
Ann BeckerFounder of Travel with Ann Experiential
Thank you for your support and for the publicity. It’s so valuable. I want to tell you that your questionnaires are constructed in a way that makes it very easy to put together the story. Well done. You surprised me.
Natalia López EspinozaAn independent journalist who worked with the Asociación Stibrawpa to help prepare their story in our May 2021 edition
The stories that the projects have been publishing [in El Colectivo 506] have been the best, by far, that I’ve read in recent years. I congratulate you.

But the most important one has been 🇨🇷. During this month of planning at #elcolectivo506, we've thought (alone and together) about what impact we hope to achieve for our country through #solutionsjournalism, and how we can make more progress towards those goals.⁠

We can't wait to share the results with you! ⁠

(ESP ⬇️) The best part of this month of planni (ESP ⬇️) The best part of this month of planning: your comments! We’ve been poring over your answers to our 2022 Survey and learning so much about our reader community (the best on Earth, if we do say so ourselves). We’re so excited to hang out with you again as February begins. 🫶 La mejor parte de este mes de trabajo interno: ¡los comentarios de ustedes! Hemos estado leyendo sus repuestas a nuestra Encuesta 2022 y aprendiendo mucho sobre nuestra comunidad lectora (la mejor del planeta, tenemos que decir). Estamos TAN emocionadas para volver con ustedes con nuestra edición de enero.

The final story on our list of 2022 favorites for The final story on our list of 2022 favorites for your holiday reading: the first part of our March 2022 series, “The Lineup.” Costa Rica’s congress always gives us something to talk about, good and bad, but the best way to understand what happens there is to figure out how the people who represent us win their seats. ⁠
⁠
Dice Mónica en nuestra lista de reportajes preferidos del año: "No sólo recomiendo la lectura de una, sino de las cuatro partes de las crónicas de la edición “La Alineación” de marzo del 2022. La asamblea legislativa siempre nos da de qué hablar, bueno y malo, pero la mejor forma de lograr entender lo que pasa ahí dentro es entender cómo llegan las mujeres y hombres que nos representan a tomar posesión de esa curul".⁠
