country is really investing in renewable energy and even the coffee plantations
they recycle the excess coffee waste and use it for manure and also they're able
to get a lot of energy from different sources such a volcano hydroelectric.
it's really awesome.

an important thing I learned about Costa Rica
because we already were aware of how beautiful the hospital place was an
important thing is getting from place to place even though the country is very
small it's very mountainous so you have to have a lot of time to get different
places especially if you're busy every day with you some
