Pura Vida — a phrase that embodies the spirit of Costa Rica. It translates to "pure life," but it means so much more. It’s about embracing life, taking time to relax and living the good life.
Slow your scroll. Did you know that being near and listening to the sounds of water can reduce stress and anxiety? It can also promote feelings of happiness and well-being as well as help you unwind and improve your mood. So, take a break and listen – you deserve it.
Pause your scrolling and start relaxing. Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Costa Rica's hot springs. The soothing waters are not just for unwinding — they can improve circulation, ease muscle tension, and boost your mood. Let the warmth wash away your stress and embrace pure bliss.
July is the beginning of sea turtle hatching season and from now through November, baby sea turtles will be making their way to the ocean along our shores. During this time, remember to keep our beaches dark and avoid using flashlights or flash photography if you are watching the hatching. Sea turtles follow the light of the moon to the ocean and other lights on the beach can disorient them and keep them from finding the sea. Also, remember to stay clear of marked nests you may see on beaches. For more information on sea turtle hatching and how to help protect them: https://bit.ly/3KZ49Ry 📸 Christine Figgener
