Costa Rica Pure Life!

Find Paradise on Your Stay

Thinking of going on a vacation? Want to be relaxed and have some fresh air? Want to have a different view aside from the tall buildings around the city? Costa Rica, a tropical country, is the perfect destination.

You’ll find Costa Rica famous for its beaches, whether you’re on the Pacific Ocean west side or the Caribbean Sea on its eastern shores. This tiny democracy is also part of the Pacific Ring Fire Circle, and has over 200 identifiable volcanic formations dating back over 65 million years. Inland, you’ll also find pristine jungles where you can experience everything from rainforests to cloud forests to tropical dry forests along with all the birds and wildlife you can imagine!

While there are thousands of scenic views in other parts of Central America, Costa Rica is one of a kind because it gives you a taste of a different country where most of the people speak English. Its rich biodiversity provides a more relaxed vibe to the tourist and the people living in the area. Good news is that there is not only one, two, but five spectacular places to stay that are highly recommended when you plan to visit Costa Rica.
