THE PURA VIDA ADVENTURE

Installed between the Pacific and the Caribbean, Costa Rica is a biological treasure trove of exceptional flora and fauna, ideal for nature and adventure lovers. This small country is home to majestic volcanoes, lush jungle, unspoilt beaches, hot springs, rivers, … and provides an ideal habitat for hummingbirds, quetzals, toucans, multicoloured butterflies, turtles, jaguars, monkeys, sloths, tamanduas and other animals that thrive in this breathtaking natural environment! Preserving this biodiversity, which is unique in the world, has become one of Costa Rica’s top priorities: over 20% of the country’s territory is protected. You’ll be surprised by the warm welcome from the «Ticos» living in this green paradise.
