Where is the music coming from? In Tortuguero, Costa Rica, music can be heard in a very special place: the Casa de la Cultura. Here, a small ensemble of dedicated students rehearses with great passion, keeping traditional Costa Rican Calypso alive while giving it fresh energy. But music is only one part of the rich cultural heritage of our Caribbean coast. To help preserve these treasures and make them more visible, the AKP Foundation of the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group will now take the lead in supporting this inspiring cultural project. ARA Tours is, of course, delighted to join the initiative. Following initial improvements to the infrastructure, a small museum is scheduled to open at the beginning of next year. It will be possible to visit the museum as part of guided village walks. Initially, the experience will be aimed at small groups and guests travelling with a guide, and later also at independent travellers. We warmly invite you to support this musical project together with us and to include a visit in your travel programmes. In this way, we create meaningful and sustainable encounters, strengthen the local village community and give Tortuguero’s culture the stage it deserves.
