> **[Santa Teresa, Costa Rica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Teresa,_Costa_Rica)** > > Santa Teresa is a small town in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. It is located about 150 kilometres (93 mi) west of the capital city of San José. Like other coastal villages on the Nicoya Peninsula such as neighboring Mal Pais, Santa Teresa started as a remote fishing village, relying on agriculture, cattle ranching and small-scale fishing. Today, tourism is the main source of income of most families, and the town hosts surf camps, yoga retreats, and both luxury and budget accommodations. > Visit... Participatory ethnographic research of other economies on an isolated paradise little town in Costa Rica. We will organize gatherings and study groups to learn about modernity, capitalism, the traps of modern capitalistic economies, and other ways to relate. We will help people and businesses in town to send and receive payments in Ethereum layer 1 and layer 2. We will co-create a local currency, with a circle of trust, and credit without interest. We will experiment with liquidity in USDT and funding for land regeneration projects. We will propose treaties to relate and trade with other bioregions doing similar experiments. The remote location of Santa Teresa and its socio-economic peculiarities makes it a perfect ground for economic experimentation with Ethereum.
