5 Reasons You Should Visit Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a small country in Central America, well known in the surfing community thanks to a surf film called
The Endless Summer ll
But Costa Rica is not just for surfers. It’s for everyone! Here are 5 reasons why you should visit Costa Rica.
Reason #1 – Why you should visit Costa Rica, BEACHES, SUNSETS, & SURF
– I know, that’s three reasons in one.
Right along the west coast of Costa Rica, you will find gorgeous stretches of white sand beaches, along with warm water, and perfect beach breaks for those who want to learn to surf.
This literally is a surfers paradise. Then top it off with some of the most amazing sunsets you will ever see and you have the wonderland that is Costa Rica.
I have seen a lot of sunsets around the world, and still at the very TOP of my sunset list is a small town in CR called Santa Teresa. We spent a month living here and it was a ritual to have beers and watch the sunset every night. It never gets old!
Reason #2 – Why you should visit Costa Rica, ADVENTURE
For those that aren’t into surfing, you should at very least get one lesson. But if you’re looking for something different, don’t worry… There’s a town situated high in the mountains called Monteverde that has you covered!
You can visit the cloud forest and walk across swing bridges that hang high in the treetops..
And if that’s not enough adrenaline for you, then take the zip line…
Reason #3 – Why you should visit Costa Rica, SLOTHS
Costa Rica supports an enormous variety of wildlife. There are many things to see simply by taking a walk through the forest. Like Tarantulas (vid below)
But what you really want to look out for is a SLOTH. Somewhat of an icon in CR, you will often find them grazing high in the treetops. Keep your eyes peeled!

They’re so ugly they’re cute …If that makes sense?
Reason #4 – Why you should visit Costa Rica, YOGA RETREATS
Costa Rica is full of Yoga studios, whether you want a full-blown vegan yoga retreat, or just take a class or two in between sunbathing on the beautiful white sand beach, and practising your surfing skills you will be good to go.

Reason #5 – Why you should visit Costa Rica, PURA VIDA
Here’s Urban Dictionaries definition of “Pura Vida”
Spanish for “pure life.”
The law of the land in Costa Rica. The expression is used in many forms, from a greeting, to a synonym for “excellent.” Ticos follow this lifestyle and are some of the most wonderful people on earth. A synonym of “hakuna matata.” Life is wonderful; enjoy it.
“Pura vida!” (Damn right!)
I see it as the relaxed way of life in Costa Rica.
The local people are some of the kindest hearted people in the world… If you walk down the street and happen to catch someone’s eyes as you walk by, be sure to give them a “Pura Vida!” they will love you for it.
If that’s not enough excuses to get your butt to Costa Rica I don’t know what is!!
Go on now… You won’t regret it.
