Pura Vida

Pura Vida (pronounces poo-rah vee-dah) simply translates to mean “simple life” or “pure life”. In Costa Rica, it is more than just a saying — It’s an emotion, it’s an attitude, it’s happiness, and it’s a way of life.  Once you’ve visited, you will understand the true meaning of Pura Vida.

Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries in the world, mostly because its inhabitants don’t stress about things the way most foreigners do. Costa Ricans (Ticos) have a very relaxed, simple way of looking at life. No worries, no fuss, no stress — Pura Vida to them means being thankful for what they have and not dwelling on the negative.
