For the uninitiated, Semana Santa, or Holy Week, marks a drastic shift from the usual serene ambiance of Guanacaste’s beaches.

The objective? To swing, putt, and chip in for a cause that hits close to home for thousands of families across Costa Rica.

Embarking on the expat journey to Costa Rica isn’t just a change of address; it’s a full-on lifestyle upgrade.

This long-anticipated event, emerging from a three-year hibernation, saw the streets bustling with thousands of locals and tourists alike.

Kicking off at 6 p.m., the festival will light up the route from the National Gymnasium in La Sabana to the Chinese Arch in Paseo de los Estudiantes.

In Costa Rica, the cattle parade, an event brimming with cultural significance and tradition, holds a special place in the hearts of the locals.
