Costa Rica Getaway - The Call of the Ocean

Description    

Costa Rica's coastline and the sea that bathes it are as desirable as the vast nature of the interior. The local beaches are attractive for their natural beauty, as well as for the miracle of creation. Despite constant threats of danger, olive ridley turtle females return here year after year to lay their eggs... and the turtle hatchlings head out to sea to test the strength of the Pacific Ocean currents. Only one in a thousand survives... Proof of the limitless fantasies of Mother Nature - or, in this case, the god Siba - is the Osa Peninsula, captured in the third part of the documentary series. Long ago it was an island, and it seems as if the virgin rainforest grew directly from the ebb and flow of the tide... The exceptional number of local ecosystems makes it possible that even today new species of plants and animals continue to emerge, some of which exist nowhere else on Earth. Similar variety and diversity can be observed below the water's surface. The fascinating landscape is enhanced by the prolonged song of humpback whales, whose songs last up to 30 minutes during courtship and mating. Humpback whale song can be heard underwater more than 40 kilometers away, but seeing them is not so easy.
