Hey, Cody here 👋
I fell in love with Costa Rica during my first trip in 2008. I’ve returned many times over the years and in 2021 I made a trip down with my fiancé Anna. She immediately fell in love with the pura vida lifestyle, just as I had over a decade before. We got married a year later and decided that our plan was to move to Costa Rica as soon as we could.
We’re not quite there yet. We bought a condo in Playa Flamingo, and get down there as much as possible. This site started as me writing travel tips, guides, and day trips for our guests, and has evolved into Ultimate Pura Vida.
We’re here to share our experiences and help fellow travelers jet off on their own unforgettable journeys in Costa Rica. Our guides are designed as quick and easy reads, free from distracting ads that ruin the experience. From cloud forests to beaches, markets to waterfalls, we hope to inspire you to discover Costa Rica’s natural beauty.
Come join us on this adventure. We’re here to help you plan your trip and experience the true meaning of “pura vida.” Check out our posts here and let’s chat about your upcoming trip!
– Cody & Anna 🤙
