SY REMEDY - "Macaws in the trees in Golfito ๐จ๐ท CR feasting on cashew nuts"
With bright red feathers accented by yellow and blue on its wings, the Scarlet Macaw is one of the most colorful and recognizable birds in Costa Rica.
Habitat: Found in coastal lowlands, particularly along the Pacific coast. Common areas include:
ย ย ย ย ย Carara National Park
ย ย ย ย Palo Verde National Park
ย ย ย ย ย Osa Peninsula (Corcovado National Park)
Behavior: These macaws are often seen in pairs or small flocks, flying noisily across the forest canopy. They feed on fruits, seeds, and nuts. Scarlet Macaws are highly social, often seen in pairs or small flocks. They form monogamous bonds that last a lifetime. Known for their loud, screeching calls that can be heard from a great distance. This helps them communicate in dense forests. They nest in tree cavities, typically in tall, mature trees. Breeding season peaks between December and May.
Overall: 32-38 inches in length, including their long tail feathers /ย 2-2.6 poundsย
Predominantly bright red, with bold yellow on the wings and vibrant blue on the outer flight feathers. A small patch of green may appear between the red and yellow wing feathers. With a large, curved beakโwhite on the upper part and black on the lowerโdesigned for cracking hard nuts and seeds. Pale yellow, giving them an intense and intelligent expression.
Tikal, known to the Maya as Yax Mutal, served as a major political, economic, and ceremonial hub during the Classic Period (200-900 CE). The city was home to powerful rulers who built alliances and waged wars with neighboring city-states, including Calakmul and Caracol. At its peak, Tikal supported a population of over 100,000, with its influence spreading across the Petรฉn Basin and beyond.
The Maya were master astronomers, and Tikal reflects their celestial understanding. The alignment of the temples and plazas demonstrates a sophisticated knowledge of the solar and lunar cycles, which played a crucial role in their agricultural and ceremonial activities.
Reaching Tikal ย involves a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Guatemala, making it a destination for those who embrace adventure. Once at the site, local guides provide invaluable insights into the history and culture of the Maya. For those arriving by yacht, a trip inland from the Rio Dulce ย
Visitors should plan to arrive early to catch the sunriseโa magical moment when the jungle awakens, shrouded in mist, as the first rays of light illuminate the ancient temples.
The dry season (November to April) is ideal for visiting Tikal, as the weather is cooler and the trails are less muddy. ย
SUNRISE ๐ TIKAL ๐ฌ๐น GUATEMALA
Spring Equinox (Around March 21) and Fall Equinox (Around September 21)
Certain structures in Tikal, such as the ceremonial plazas and temple alignments, were designed to mark the position of the sun during these equinoxes.
The equinoxes signify balance and were important in Mayan agricultural cycles

What is the "IdCCP complement identifier" (IdCCP)?
Regarding the "IdCCP complement identifier" (IdCCP) attribute, which is necessary to express the 36 characters corresponding to the folio of the complement, it is important to take into account the following:
The structure of the IdCCP attribute must comply with the guidelines defined in the RFC 4122 standard. This implies that it must begin with three default characters which are the letter "C". Also, it must follow the pattern specified for this attribute in the standard of the Carte Porte 3.0 add-on.
