The Tico Times Weekly Digest: Dec. 24, 2018

It’s Christmastime in Costa Rica. 🎄🇨🇷🎄

In this special weekly digest, we talk about some end-of-year Costa Rican traditions and introduce you to the newest Tico Times family member: Toto.

The Toucan Rescue Ranch is offering symbolic adoptions, so if you’re in the giving spirit this Christmas, adopt a sloth and help fund animal recovery in Costa Rica.


Thanks for reading The Tico Times. We strive to keep you up to date about everything that’s been happening in Costa Rica. We work hard to keep our reporting independent and groundbreaking, but we need your help. The Tico Times is partly funded by you and every little bit helps. If all our readers chipped in a buck a month we’d be set for years.
