For the last 20 years we have been producing film and television programs in Costa Rica, mostly for the US and European market, and on each project we always had the exciting challenge of having to research, mostly on the Internet, a great variety of subjects, ranging from how many hotels were available in a particular location, to finding experts on just about every subject matter.

The task was not always that simple because we have found that Google and other search engines were not always giving us the results we required.

Many Costa Rican websites, for varied reasons, are simply not indexed, or rank poorly in search results, but for users are equally important.

We then turned to online directories, but found that most of them are poorly designed, with little or no maintenance, or very few links.

Most are simply ad farms with the sole objective of attracting Google Adwords and Adsense advertising.

So, little by little, we began to collect and catalog all the websites that we were using on our projects to keep them handy for future projects.

The result is that our current collection of websites now surpasses 5,000 links-and growing- covering all facets of Costa Rican life. We know of no other directory with this amount of links.

We have decided to share this valuable information in the form of an online directory called Costa Rica Enigma. In order to make searches more productive, we have cataloged the links into 36 main categories and 740 sub categories.

But more importantly, we have cataloged all sites according to the canton that they are located in. This makes Costa Rica Enigma the first community based online directory available.

The site is simple to use, with several options for searching, including the old traditional yellow pages fashion, whereby you simply look up alphabetically the subject you are interested in.

The directory is also available on your mobile devices. The directory includes both English and Spanish language websites, but we have added titles and descriptions in both languages for all websites.

This is a valuable tool, because although a site might be only in Spanish, you can now have an idea as to what its content is all about.

You can’t presume to live or do business in a Spanish speaking country and expect that all of your required services and interests will be presented in English only websites.

Costa Rica Enigma is a membership fee based site. It costs $50 per year for a membership. This fee allows us to keep the site free of annoying advertising. We do not charge website owners a fee to list in our directory.

In fact, we do not ask anyone’s go-ahead to list their website. If the website’s activity is based in Costa Rica, and it is a qualified site we will include them in our directory indepent if they appear in Google or have a poor Google ranking. Google does not determine the quality of a website.

Try it out for free and we are sure that you will be pleased with our product.
