A Soaring Partnership

Hotel Punta Islita's partnership with The Ara Project has brought back Red macaws to the region.

A quiet afternoon at Hotel Punta Islita’s 1492 Restaurant is a picture-perfect opportunity to enjoy the ocean’s endless spectacle. The breeze gently nudging the palm trees and the murmur of the waves reaching the coastline are soothing to the point of complete relaxation. Until a flock of Red macaws in perfect V formation disturbs the peace! As detailed by Hotel Punta Isilta’s Customer Service Associate, Marvin Seas:
 

“I was startled by a wild, fast-approaching cacophony of squawks and cackles. As I looked around, I could see our guests’ bewildered faces, their curiosity tinged with a bit of alarm. I walked over to the adjacent deck and spun around, trying to pinpoint the source of the racket. As I finally looked up, I was greeted by an amazing sight: A brilliantly hued flock of Red macaws, soaring in a perfect V formation against a green and blue backdrop. Every guest left the table, gazing in awe of this graceful, yet boisterous display. We all shared a special feeling, knowing that we had just been blessed by an amazing opportunity to witness nature briefly painting the sky’s blue canvass with passing streaks of color. It was especially exciting because it illustrated the gradual success of Hotel Punta Islita's partnership with The Ara Project to bring back endangered Red macaws to Costa Rica's skies. What a magnificent afternoon!”

We agree Marvin!
