Discover the Magic of Costa Rica in the Nicoya Peninsula — A Paradise of Wildlife, Ocean Adventures, and Mountain Escapes.

As our name suggests, we are all about pura vida—a way of life that celebrates nature, simplicity, and well-being. The inspiration behind our name comes from Costa Rica, specifically the magical Nicoya Peninsula, where the idea of showing the beauty of our planet first took root.

This peaceful region, still untouched compared to its bustling neighboring beach towns, is home to incredible biodiversity and a laid-back lifestyle that invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. The Nicoya Peninsula is a mosaic of pristine beaches, lush jungle, and authentic coastal villages that together capture the true essence of pura vida.

Places like Montezuma, once a bohemian hippie haven, still enchant visitors with its cascading waterfalls, artistic energy, and open-hearted community. To the south, Cabuya remains one of Costa Rica’s best-kept secrets—where the jungle meets the ocean in perfect harmony, right at the entrance of Cabo Blanco National Park, the country’s first protected reserve and a sanctuary for wildlife and sea birds.

Just a short drive away, the surf towns of Santa Teresa and Malpaís blend world-class waves with a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, attracting travelers seeking both adventure and mindfulness. Offshore, the Pacific waters teem with life, from migrating whales and playful dolphins to colorful reef fish—making this a fishing paradise and a dream for ocean lovers.

Nearby, you’ll also find beautiful day-trip destinations such as Isla Tortuga, famous for its turquoise waters and snorkeling, and Playa Muertos, a serene hidden beach ideal for swimming and unwinding beneath the palms.

At Ecotourspuravida, our mission goes beyond creating memorable travel experiences — we aim to support and empower the local communities that make these destinations so special. By collaborating with locally owned tour operators, fishermen, guides, and small family businesses, we ensure that tourism directly contributes to the region’s economy while helping preserve its natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Every tour we offer — from ocean adventures and mountain hikes to wildlife exploration — is designed to let you experience Costa Rica authentically, while giving back to the people who keep this paradise alive. That’s what pura vida truly means to us. 🌿
