This trip was of paramount importance for the fertile future of Hacienda la Esperanza in Costa Rica. However, first preparations had to be made in San José and Escazú . Together with Pauline Smeeman of Ecole Travel I carefully prepared the maiden trip to Costa Rica for Jan Kluft, main shareholder, co-founder and future member of the supervisory board of Vereenigde Costaricaanse Compagnie bv (VCC) with his wife Carrie Kluft; the second Costa Rica trip of Hans van der Holst, co-founder of Forest Returns bv and member of the supervisory board of VVC, joined by his partner Jeanine de Winter and for my wife and business partner Joke Kloppenborg. Later an other shareholder of VCC would join us on Peninsula de Nicoya: Jos Bregman with his family and his parents. In Samara I picked up the group of Jan, Carrie, Hans, Jeanine, Joke & Pauline to make a boat trip on the Pacific Ocean (Oceano Pacífico) where I made my most beautiful pictures of (mating !) sea turtles ever... You can see many pictures of the De Wijs Rojas family and the beautiful flora and fauna of Hacienda la Esperanza , even showing howling monkeys (Mono Congo). Take a look at the ultimate paradise, Hacienda la Esperanza, with waterfalls and other surprising elements in the valey of Rio Ario on Peninsula de Nicoya...
