A journey through time and space
Beach on Cano Island
Citizens and residents of Costa Rica all seem to share one essential thing: a deep love for the land that surrounds them. Costa Ricans, expats and tourists who have spent time in this land of monkeys, waterfalls and surfing speak of the area with deep admiration and pride.

The people of Costa Rica live by the motto "Pura Vida". Just as the Swedish term lagom is difficult to explain, it is difficult to describe the meaning of pura vida.
​
An essence of the concept is to be grateful for life, enjoy life and avoid focusing on the negative. Simply being happy.
People don´t stress about life´s obligations, but take things as they come.
In short, Ticos (locals) have a more relaxed and simple approach to life than many of us in the West.
