Costa Rica:
‘Pura vida’ (Pure life)
Waterfalls, natural pools, hanging bridges… pure fun
Arenal: where a volcano becomes a true adventure
You’ll be right where sea turtles come to nest
Costa Rica has a slogan that the locals constantly repeat: “pure life”. And this might just tell the whole storyVida es lo que se percibe alrededor. Selvas vivas, mares vivos, volcanes vivos, ciudades vivas…
Life is what is perceived around you. Lively jungles, lively seas, lively volcanoes, lively cities…
Nature makes itself overwhelmingly noticed. No other country has such a high percentage of its territory categorised as protected areas and natural parks.
But life doesn’t only mean fauna and flora, it also means action. Crossing its extraordinary hanging bridges in the middle of a jungle is not a walk, it’s a truly transformative feeling. Letting the weight of your body rapidly descend along some of the longest and highest zip lines you could imagine is a pure and raw emotion in itself. Walking at night in silence along a virgin beach to discover the turtles’ nesting and their eventual race to reach the sea is simply captivating.
With the Caribbean and the Pacific coasts, the country offers beaches for every personality, from the more active that loves surfing to the more relaxed that enjoys contemplating the crystal-clear water from the sand.
After returning from the country you may think that whoever named it wasn’t especially original, as it’s a land between truly beautiful coasts. It’s Costa Rica, ‘pura vida’

Travel recommendations for Costa Rica
Discover five activities to make your trip to Costa Rica perfect
- A country without an army… Well, actually, an army of toucans and 992 species of tropical birds. We will take you to see them in relaxing boats commanded by expert guides
- It’s the afternoon and, after a day of trekking and canopy, thermal waters in natural pools await you in front of the Arenal volcano
- Drake Bay. Sounds like it could’ve been taken right out of a pirate film, but you won’t see pirates from your private boat, you’ll see whale
- Prepare your camera, take your time, you’ll have all the time in the world. The sloths will remain still
- If you’re one of those people that always take their spiked shoes in their suitcase, we’ll find for you the golf course you desire so you can stare at the flag without loosing sight of the sea
