"Pura vida" is a common phrase that Costa Ricans use with pride to express the state of happiness, peace, and tranquility that political stability and freedom bring to Costa Ricans. "Pura Vida" also describes anything that's cool or fun like white water rafting.
Costa Rica itself boasts some of the most diverse habitats on the planet. Ranging from rainforests to stunning beaches, cloud forests to mangrove swamps, Costa Rica is an ecological treasure with a dazzling array of exotic animals, waterfalls, and volcanoes.
