♥ ♥. ♥ ♥ Now, enjoy the story, in: Z urqu í.
25. Back in Zurquí
Between August and December of 2006 I was high on the Zurquí toll, as it were, in a the gates of the forest.
be the entrance to the forest is a feature of the area: on the side of Coronado and Moravia of San Jose is reached under the Honduras and here in San Isidro de Heredia Braulio Carrillo Park with its mountains, rivers, volcanoes and thick jungle.
The exact location of the toll is as follows: 1. , and here a closer view nearby.
Staff and toll facilities :
mention them as colleagues and friends, because this document has nothing to do with the employment relationship, but rather another example of my love for Tiquicia and this is its people.
The area is sparsely populated, so most of the colleagues from more distant sites, where few people live nearby.
For this reason the contracting firm should transferring from San Jose, since they come from very different places:
Marlene Castro Fallas Lap of JORC in Aserrí
Goicoechea FabricioBermúdez Víctor Ramírez of San Felipe in Alajuelita
Walter López Téllez of San Miguel in Homeless
Alberto Ramirez Madrigal of San Juan de Dios in Homeless)
Ramón Lamb Navarro of Abandoned
Corrales Jorge Ramirez Dulce Nombre in Coronado
Martinez Jarquin Zamir of Barrio Cuba
Flor Angulo Gutiérrez Goicoechea of Purral in
Emmanuelle Chacón Zúñiga Pavas in San Jose
Along the way, already in full highway, are collected from peers some villages closer:
Karina Alexander Bolivar of San Juan de Tibás
Sibaja Artavia Dagoberto San Miguel
Adriana Sandí Moraga San Isidro
The Santa Elena:
Peers Julio Murillo Arce, who comes from San Miguel de Desamparados, Joshua Matarrita Barrantes of Santo Domingo de Heredia and Javier Fernández Hernández, who lives in Conception of San Isidro, was mobilized in their own cars.
It is clearly a heterogeneous group that has been docked as a result of applying standard procedures, the peaceful coexistence in the workplace and the charisma that put Xavier, Joshua and Randall Araya .
No staff who come from villages located after toll, as these are at much greater distance, past the vast mountainous area in the province of Limon, about thirty miles.
As for me, I have to travel only fifteen minutes from my house to reach the station, but some contrast is that most of the time I leave a Tibás sunny and hot and Zurquí reached a cloudy, windy, cold and light rain or closed until stormy.
Despite the harshness of the tropical climate that there is experienced the place offers beautiful scenery and being in the height of mountains, one can see the sky red and black Alajuela yonder, and then reveal some incredibly beautiful colored clouds, as can be seen in these sample photos:
1 , 2, 3
We have our own provider guavas and even bring us closer friends, as "bone."
I have seen many people pass known as the father Claudio Solano, director of the Escuela Social Juan XXIII and solidarismo promoter.
Over the days I attuned to each partner in the struggle to get along with people according to their inclinations and viewpoints.
In these, I went to the house of Ana Zamora Rocio Cordoba, Santa Elena.
is entered for "Virgin Street, and immediately surprisingly one of the luxury homes that have been built in that short stretch of road.
In one, they had several big bikes, which immediately included in my collection of bikes Tiquicia 2006.
Upon reaching the entrance to the property of Zamora, almost all the houses that one finds are of that family.
The first left ancestral retains a huge wagon wheel in one corner.
front of the house Ana Rocío I went out to meet some children, who make up part of the family: Kevin and Emmanuelle and Ingrid Naiad, which are the three little children of my companion. We
warming up in the living room and set out to do some poses in the garden and play with mirrusca, proud to be kept heavily chained.
Then we left for Aunt Teresa Zúñiga Madrigal, where we found several curious plants, like the little ear of corn, chile Panama, a fern Gordillo, astromelias, anthuriums, guaria ground, hydrangeas, orchids dwarfs and other plants of equal beauty.
Then we went into the corridor, where Aunt Teresa was in the company Melissa Cordero Méndez and a goldfish that help both people's inner balance.
Maria Isabel Méndez Zúñiga happily showed me his wood stove, beautiful old house, built by ...
Then we moved to the bottom of the yard next to the old adobe house, which has many areas in good condition.
The courtyard, although full of vegetation and banana plants, has a beautiful view of the woods, but due to the steep slope that leads down to the river, I visited the ground a loud, for the joy of children who accompanied me: Luis Ramirez Zamora and children of Ana Rocio.
On the way we meet Karen Ramírez Zamora, niece Ana Rocío.
With children, I stopped at the edge of the river to, to encourage them to walk, when they were a little bigger, across the river in the woods, in order to cherish memories in the future will be pleased to revive, but they confessed that they have done.
We started a "horse snot, gnarled plant known as soldiers-cum-soldiers and rub against cement of the street lamp, in order to obtain a sticky paste that half my childhood we had to suck to demonstrate courage and boldness ... assume that all children who were with me today passed the test, lol.
the way back we waited Dona Ana Maria Zamora with a delicious rice pudding, which we ate in the company of Carmen and Joel Zamora Córdoba. For there were the cats of the house and stain mising.
After eating, we left the toll, a distance of 1200 m. scarce
Upon arrival you know what, it came a downpour that lasted several hours and no less despite the entry of the night.
Round Santa Elena :
If a mile before I left the highway and inside the streets of Yerbabuena and Santa Elena I find a pine grove that flows into the sector are located in the village church, school and some houses to reach the sports plaza and crossing between San Luis and tolls.
Take the path to the toll from two rivers and beautiful homes with huge land where it is common to find cattle and scenes variadas del campo.
La callecilla de cuestas y bajadas se interna en la espesura, donde la oscuridad y lo sinuoso del camino juegan una pasada al conductor, de manera tal que uno se ve necesitado de anunciar su paso tocando el pito, pues el encuentro con otro vehículo en sentido contrario podría ser fatal.
Finalmente, la callecilla llega hasta la pista, por lo que hay que retroceder unos quinientos metros sobre ella para encontrar la estación.
Alrededores del peaje :
Los pueblos que anteceden a la estación toll are closely related, as opposed to a few years ago, when they were apart for lack of roads leading to now where all towards the runway and therefore relations have become closer.
Therefore it is not uncommon, for example, a herdsman with oxcart of San Jerónimo de Moravia on the road to San Miguel de Santo Domingo, to San Luis.
In this case, I said that since the three in the morning were using a metal frame tipped to open furrows in the soil, as a multiple plow.
A tree trunk placed on this framework with tips and engage the team Orade to the ground.
Zurquí In Rancho restaurant also have a nice team.
------------------- I'm always touched by the closeness of the oxen and noble and loyal man, who patiently bear heavier work.
I have fondness for photographing, as if that part of my existence.
As for the carts, I have only a faint recollection of having walked in, that was in the Sabanilla fifties of the twentieth century, the estate of La Bamba ... my brother Jose Francisco accompanied us and me, surprised to see our cheeks red in the alleys of coffee.
meantime, we plunged the fingers between the coffee beans filled the drawer and which we used padded seat.
is why I have two photo albums Cattle parades in San Jose and Tibás.
That farm he bought a private school and that was my father's dream of continuing the family tradition as a farmer.
-------------------------
Another image that adorns the landscape, Maria Esperanza in community work totally unselfish, "to protect the little ones that go pa'la school." About Maria Esperanza, I found some personal data online, at:
One day, walking around with my friends from San Juan Rojas Valenciano de Lajas William Rodriguez met , zarcereño de La Peña, who built the Step restaurant 500m from the toll, a key site as a reference point, but is currently closed and no one knows what fate will be.
In some of these homes have some shepherds who often wander the installation, completely tame and demanding affection.
There are all sorts of strange animals, real mutants, which are not used to seeing in the capital, which is just 20 minutes away.
Thus, with the help of Walter Lee , real amateur entomologist, treasured many pictures of butterflies and other animals.
We both fans to be interested in them Walter learned to neigh like a horse ... and until you respond, hahaha.
Some butterflies:
is totally disguised as a dry leaf ,
2 ,
... more to come soon ...
However, the landscape seen from the facilities is authentic jungle atmosphere tropical moist at its best, with some caveats.
In fact, the side of the buildings comprising offices, the vegetation is dense and tangled, with stems and branches completely covered with lichens, fungi, bromeliads, ferns and mosses, showing the coexistence of perennial species under the canopy and in all corners of the forest.
Jungle:
toll After some residences have been built and finally we Delegation Transit, virtually at the entrance of the tunnel crossing the Cerro Zurquí, fully populated sector of the forest .
The tunnel is one of the reference sites for many people who are content to get to it and enjoy the cold, cloudy, wet and surrounded by thick vegetation, completely untouched.
From the mountain tunnel that crosses the small streams that are falling waterfalls which is rich get to enjoy the impact of water ice.
came a few years ago bike ride from Tibás, bathed me in any cataract and back, but stopped doing it at a time when I started waking up at night, shaking and chills tremendous ... I do not know, but I related the two events and finished the little game.
always been a dream of climbing the mountain from the tunnel entrance and walk through the woods to go down the other side of the road, but Carlos Bogantes tells me never to lose again out alive.
What I have managed to penalties, is getting on the framework of the tunnel and watching the cars below, where the mouth of the tunnel is engulfed in the roar of engines produced within it.
Beyond the tunnel, adventure, enjoy the lush beauty of nature in all its glory.
However, small scale, the toll we have our own forest, bordering a huge lot where we can enter the day after, to enjoy silence and mood of grim and full of life on the forest .
To my forays into the jungle, I team with Marlene and Victor, and the latter as I relived my younger days, walking among the trees and moving them to enjoy the scenery from a different perspective, as well as storing up some souvenirs to take home and care for them like real children.
Victor Fabricio This deserves a separate chapter, it was one of the people most able to make friends next to the job.
Discovering a huge facility agree on the best time to enter the forest, the way to go, how to resolve situations that presented themselves along the way, the distribution of hunting specimens, etc.
So I have some videos of my adventures in the jungle in the company of the famous Victor:
Analyzing how to climb a tree ,
Making us salivating over wooden hens,
found a tree full of epiphytes
Here is a series of videos showing the audacity to Victor in the jungle is matita achieve, but the tree no branches and is full of moss so wet and slippery mountain:
2, 4 , 5 .
course, I had to teach him to temper the momentum, as well going to finish with all of nature.
As a reflection, the man over the sanctuaries should be very careful, lest that there is a mini-environmental disaster. I get scared if they cut down trees unnecessarily, capturing plants to leave expired in a strange environment or harm to the animals taking them its habitat, etc.
I care much to commit such errors, but there are unpredictable situations, for example, to get some plants that I brought a friend home, salt {or a frog in the trunk of the car, I could not capture it, gradually to return to their habitat and possibly perish in the garden ... or poison someone.
scenes I can not teach when the rain fell in torrents or when one or the other fell to the ground as noisy as it had to take care of the camera and not exposing too much.
