In Tortuguero, music comes to life in a very special place: the Casa de la Cultura (House of Culture). Here, a small ensemble of dedicated young musicians rehearses with passion, keeping the tradition of Costa Rican Calypso alive while giving it fresh energy and rhythm.<\/p>

But music is only one part of the rich cultural heritage of Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. To help preserve and celebrate these local treasures, the AKP Foundation of the Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group has taken the lead in supporting this inspiring community-based cultural project and ARA Tours is delighted to join forces in this initiative! (A&K Philanthropy)<\/a> -<\/p>

Following initial improvements to the infrastructure, a small museum is expected to open towards the beginning of 2027 and will become part of guided village walks. At first, the experience will be available to small groups and guests travelling with guides, with plans to welcome independent travellers at a later stage.<\/p>

We warmly invite you to support this initiative together with us by including this cultural experience in your itineraries. Together, we can create meaningful and sustainable encounters, strengthen the local community, and give Tortuguero's rich cultural heritage the stage it deserves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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\u2019s culture the stage it deserves.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9186,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-9166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-nachhaltigkeit"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCasa
