PURA VIDA IN COSTA RICA
The expression “Pura vida” is commonly heard in Costa Rica—it means “pure life” and is often used as a greeting instead of “hello” and “goodbye”. And the life here is pure indeed!
Its name tells a lot about this wonderful country. If I could put the entire country into one word, for Costa Rica, it would be abundance: 300 different beaches, 121 volcanic formations (seven of them are active), over 100 protected areas to visit (25% of the country has protected forests and reserves).
This small country occupies 0.3% of planet’s surface but holds 5% of its biodiversity! There are 750,000 species of insects including about 20,000 different types of spiders. Another interesting fact is that more than 10% of the world’s butterflies live here.
Isla del Coco, the most remote part of Costa Rica, nearly 360 miles (600 km) into the Pacific Ocean, southwest of the mainland. is the largest uninhabited island in the world. If you watched Steven Spielberg film Jurassic Park, you saw this island in the opening moments of the film.
There are so many reasons why Cotsa Rica is one of these places that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime.
