It's been almost two years since my visit to Costa Rica, but It was indeed a week that I will never forget. It was a vacation like no other, full of adventures such as: zip lining, white water rafting, "ATV-ing" through the jungle walks on the beach and plenty of beautiful scenery every direction you turn. However, there is one thing Costa Ricans have that is perhaps one of the most underrated envies of the world: their way of life. "Pura Vida!" Simply translated "pure life."
"Pura Vida" is not just something they say (and they say it a lot) I mean a whole lot! At least from my experience.
Examples:
How are you? "pura vida"
How are you feeling? "pura vida"
Thanks for helping! "pura vida"
You get the gist of it: What I've learned is from Costa Rica is that "pura vida" is their way of life…it's an essential part of their lives…living a life free from the stressors of the outside world, uncluttered, clean, simple, beautiful and yes…Pure! It's something that I believe can most people in the world could relate to, that desire of freedom, peace, serenity…After one week in Costa Rica I was a believer in the "pura vida" way of life. Sometimes simplicity is best!
Below are some pictures from our beautiful vacation!
The weather is perfect year around: unless you get the rain season.
