It offers a true voyage into the fascinating world of indigenous cultures; an expedition into the depths of the Costa Rican rainforests where one can discover the true beauty of the indigenous peoples, their art, and their ancestral pre-Columbian heritage." - Jean Pierre Knockaert, President of the Landscape Foundation Belgium
