These great pictures were sent to us by a reader planning her 2nd trip to the area — 34 years later!

How times and hairstyles have changed!

One vibrant iguana!

This amazingly vibrant iguana photo is one of a very lovely collection of photos taken by photographer Roy Kaltschmidt while he was in Puerto Viejo. And so we here at The Talamanca News would like to call this guy our “Critter of the Week” as well as award the photo the “Photo of the Week”.

You can learn more about our local iguanas and what you can do to save them by visiting the website of the Iguana Verde Foundation. They are working in the Gandoca-Manzanillo Reserve to protect this animal.

You can see Roy’s photos of Puerto Viejo at his portfolio. Or you can search for other photo albums of Puerto Viejo on the Puerto Viejo Satellite Photos, Blogs and Videos page.

Picture of the week: Homework by candlelight

This powerful picture comes to us via the newsletter of El Puente-The Bridge (view on map | website). The picture above was taken as Willi, Alejandro, an uncle, Dad Abelio, little Maria, and baby Catie gathered around a table at home, doing homework by candlelight. Eric Bellamy, a professional photographer, followed them one day as they returned from school, came through The Bridge, and walked to their jungle home.
