The secret of longevity and Pura Vida
zutterjp4819 August 2022
The secret of longevity: in the the province of Nicoya Philippes meets a 104 years old man riding on a horse who goes to the birthday of of his girlfriend Dora, who is 100 years old: a very great moment of the documentary: in this birthday celebration Philippe talks with the people about the longevity of of the people in this area of Costa Rica: strong family ties, good local food, joy of life and sense of humour.

In a train from San José to Cartago Philippe speaks with the passengers about the famous Costarrican sentence "pura vida": everything goes well, have a positive mind.

There are also nice encounters: Lynsy , the young woman whose father is bull breeder and who enjoys to ride on bulls: Sebastian, the Cabécar snake hunter who invites Philippe to discover the jungle no fear from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and who shows him how he looks for srpents in this jungle (a long walk in muddy paths ): Sebastian is also an educator for the members of his ethnical group, he learn them how to behave with the serpents.

Another good encounters: Philippe and the people with their boards with wheels in a region where there is only a railway line and the peolpe pulling bananas bunches by a cable system in the the banana plantations.

I enjoyed very much this documentary about the people who are proud of its biodiversity and are very friendly and kindless.
