Celebrating our 15th anniversary

Dear audience, advertisers, and collaborators.

The cover of this digital edition recalls the one published in the first edition. Since then, our editorial line has focused on exalting Costa Rica's South Pacific and defending the importance of achieving sustainable development for the destination.

This edition celebrates 15 years of uninterrupted publication of the best guide to Costa Ballena. In 2008, Ballena Tales was founded by Dagmar Reinhard (RIP), an immigrant from Germany who, like many of us, fell in love with this little piece of paradise in the South Pacific of Costa Rica.

Without a doubt, this magazine is a medium that has contributed during this decade and a half to making visible the attractions that our destination offers and promoting the offer of services both for tourism and for those who, like our founder, made this beautiful region their home.

Thanks to our collaborators who contribute valuable content and to the effort to improve our digital ecosystem day by day, both printed and digital publications have achieved a respectable position and a loyal audience that follows us from all over the planet. Our digital editions in English and Spanish have a global reach with tens of thousands of online readers. Our website receives around 400 unique visitors daily.

Regarding the printed editions, according to a study carried out in hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, offices, temporary rental houses, supermarkets, and others in previous years, the average readership is 2.3 local readers and 18 visitors per copy for approximately 142,000 total readings corresponding to the printing of seven thousand copies per year. Thank you again, dear audience, for giving us that privilege. https://magazine.ballenatales.com/
