DIVE DEEP INTO COSTA RICAN LIFE

Read about Directory 506 members in our digital magazine

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.
