COSTA RICA

A Hymn to Nature

 A blessed country, with lush vegetation, jungles, wildlife, vibrant national parks, and tropical beaches. Here, nature is untamed, and you feel like a protagonist in Jurassic Park. Colonial and colorful cities with unique character, just like their people. A nation of exceptionally friendly and welcoming people.

“Pura Vida” is the phrase used by locals, meaning “Pure Life” or “simple, pure living.” This phrase is deeply connected to Costa Rican culture and the attitude of the Ticos. Costa Ricans tend to be very relaxed and free from worry, as they say there is no reason to stress when you’re in paradise. Pura Vida is both a greeting and a farewell, an answer to the question, “How are you?” and a phrase spoken in moments of happiness.
