Costa-Rica Surreal Shapes

In the center of the city of Zarkero (Republic of Costa Rica) there is a figure park Francisco Alvarado, named after the Filipino writer. The sole creator and gardener of the park, Evangelisto Blanco Brenesom, is a landscape designer who has dedicated and dedicates himself to his creation, wielding garden shears, creating new and maintaining his old creations all year round. It all started 50 years ago with the creation of paired arches that lead to the church of St. Raphael. Since then, the park has been replenished with 130 figures of pine and cypress plants. There are many animal figures in Francisco Alvarado Park: a monkey, a lion, a rabbit, an octopus, a peacock and other animals. According to the designer, the most difficult and long six—year work is to create an elephant in its natural form. There are even figures in the park: a dinosaur, an airplane, groups of baskets and some abstract shapes that allow the imagination to fantasize over them. Also in this Costa Rica National Park there are human figures and masks, very similar to totems with images of the faces of gods and relief images of ancient Indian tribes. Francisco Alvarado Park is included in the top lists of "the most unusual gardens" and "the most unusual parks in the world", primarily for abstract labyrinths of living plants, many people speak of it as a place in which there is something mystical. This unusual park is worth paying attention to, for its individuality and for such a titanic work of one landscape designer. Francisco Alvarado Park can be safely called a real work of landscape design. In this park, visitors will have the opportunity to see incredibly beautiful and interesting labyrinths of living plants, as well as living sculptures covered with moss. They are one of the most unusual decorations of the park, some sculptures are partially made of stone, and they are complemented by interesting plants. The craftsmen grow special moss on the stones, which allows you to create an imitation of living sculptures. #trip #flowerlover #garden

Costa Rican Beach Jaco: Beaches in Costa Rica, like jaco, may well be one of the most important assets in the eyes of visitors. The beaches come in all sizes, shapes and types. One of the most known beaches is called Jaco. Jaco is one of the first beaches to become a real tourist magnet. It is also one of the closest beaches to San Jose. The beach itself is a three km long beach with nice sand and the water is inviting. However, as always when swimming in the sea, check out current riptides as well as keep an eye on the tide. Jaco has rapidly become one of the selected party beaches in Costa Rica and the long beach has a multitude of hotels, #easylife#palace#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#beautifulhotel#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
