Pura Vida is a phrase that epitomises the lifestyle of Costa Rica, a way of saying that things are going well and giving thanks.

Pura Vida means different things to different people, but it essentially embodies the Tico(Costa Rican) philosophy of enjoying life slowly with a strong community, an element of simplicity and an appreciation of one's natural surroundings.

Costa Rica has no real winter period, and enjoys a lovely temperature year-round.

The rainy season lasts from May to November, with the months of December through April having little to no rain on the Pacific coast.

The ocean is the lifeblood of the area, a slice of heaven on Costa Rica's southwest coast that is renowned for its consistent surf and established yoga training schools.
