The Costa Maya Festival organization is happy to present Miss Costa Rica for the Reina de la Costa Maya Pageant. She is the beautiful Raquel Guevara Avila, a Systems Engineering student at the Universidad Latina de Costa Rica.
The 18-year-old is 5’ 6” with dark brown hair and eyes. She enjoys cooking, playing on the computer, is an avid runner, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.
Raquel joins Miss Belize Grisel Carballo, Miss El Salvador Ana Graciela, Miss Honduras Maria Jose Alvarado Muñoz, Miss Nicaragua Katherine Tapia, and Miss Panama Karol Salinas. They await the announcement of the remaining contestants from Guatemala and Mexico. The pageant will be held on August 7, 2014, and leading up to the big event will be quite a few exciting events featuring all the lovely misses. There will be ample opportunities for the public to meet and get to know the contestants, and maybe even pick a favorite to win the crown! Look out for the details of Noche Tropical as well as the various stops throughout town in the days leading to the pageant!
