Our Philosophy
Travelin the Now
The "Pura Vida" Philosophy is in our heart!
Costa Rica's "Pura Vida" is a phrase which is used for everything, hi, bye, thank you, enjoy and much more. It's a philosophy deeply ingrained in the country's culture.Translated as "pure life," it's a way of approaching life with an unshakeable optimism, even in the face of challenges.
It embodies a spirit of gratitude for the natural beauty that envelops the land, from misty rainforests to pristine beaches. It's a nod to the warm-heartedness of the Costa Rican people, who extend their hospitality to visitors with open arms.
The essence of "Pura Vida" is woven into daily life, reminding everyone to appreciate the present moment and find joy in even the simplest of pleasures. It's a reminder to live authentically, to embrace life's ups and downs with a positive outlook.
On this journey, our goal is to fully embrace the Costa Rican vibe by "Travelin the now" and welcoming all its beauty with open arms and love.
