Green Season Re-wilding Experience promo

A Retreat, A Lifestyle & An Experience

As Costa Rica’s Green Season gets going, we’re offering guests a very unique opportunity for a re-wilding experience promo as our little jungle retreat is the place for guests who want to disconnect, be ‘off-grid’ and get away from it all. It’s for those of you who have a sense of adventure, are up for trying something new and leaving their comfort zones and who, come rain or shine, won’t let the weather stop them from doing what they want. It’s an adrenalin junkies paradise, perfect for those who want to wake up to the sounds of monkeys, trek through the jungle and jump in a freshwater plunge pool all before breakfast!

Pura Vida Ecolodge is a beautiful & very private eco-luxury re-wilding retreat near Costa Rica’s South Pacific Coast. At around 4 hours drive (with 4x4) from San Jose International Airport, our unique & stunning location offers guests panoramic sea views & hangs dramatically over the jungle canopy. A perfect romantic getaway for nature lovers, an award-winning jungle nest for your family vacation and an adrenalin junkies paradise!

Pura Vida Rewilding Adventure through mangroves to Playa Garza

This off-the-beaten-track experience is with our friend Capi and a unique experience in a traditional Tico ‘botecito’ (small boat with both motor & oars). The private adventure is limited to 6 guests & includes frescos (natural juices), black coffee (for early morning starts), seasonal fresh fruit and homemade vegetarian empanadas . Departure time depend on tide times, but typically is a three hour adventure. You’ll get to see the wilder side of La Zona Sur as you venture through the mangroves to a dramatic opening in the Rio Terraba. Admire the impressive landscapes & nat re with another hidden gem on the other side of the river as you arrive at Playa Garza, named after the thousands of birds that nest in the area in season. Here you’ll have mile after mile of volcanic sands & coconut palms all to yourself.

Home-cooked plant-based welcome meal

A brilliant treat for your arrival after a day’s travel, when you don’t fancy cooking or eating out , we will arrange for tasty home-cooked meals (by our budding chef friends Yorly & Ili) to be delivered up to the lodge to enjoy hopefully with a killer sunset down in the Alfresco Lounge. In keeping with our green-living ethos, we specialise in both plant-based & vegetarian meals and all dishes are made with locally sourced ingredients that are in season.

Visit to The Costa Rica Coral Restoration Project

This fantastic project is an Environmental Conservation Organization and non-profit founded in 2019 with the goal of restoring, protecting and repopulating the coral population at Marino Ballena National Park in Bahía Ballena, Costa Rica. In the past few years, they have built coral nurseries at the Marino Ballena National Park, artificial reefs, and fragmentation tanks in order to help restore the coral population in the surrounding area via coral out planting. The experience includes an educational presentation and a complimentary visit to the centre and National Park, which together will provide guests with an insight to the importance of protecting the coral reefs, now more than ever.

Couple’s Massage & Holistic treatment

We are lucky enough to work closely with one of the best therapists in the country! Introducing Japhet, originally from the Caribbean side of Costa Rica but now just up the road in Dominical. She is highly qualified and very good. Included in the package are her deep-tissue massages with a selection of organic essential oils in the comfort of the lodge on one of her massage beds. Guests can choose where she sets up the massage platform, but we suggest in the shade of the bamboo on the pool deck overlooking the jungle or down in the Alfresco Lounge with the Ocean breeze – the perfect unwind treat. She also includes some really nice facials, body scrubs & wraps with a choice of organic coffee, chocolate & coconut or Green Tea & Apricot Seeds.

Osa Canopy Tour Experience

This is the oppurtunity to leave your comfort zone behind and swing through the jungle with the monkeys! The Osa Canopy Tour is around a 30-minute drive from Pura Vida Ecolodge and one of the best zip-lining options in the entire country. It boasts 7 cables, 13 platforms, 3 rappelling stations and 2 suspension bridges and can be arranged as either a morning or afternoon activity. (Typically lasting 3-4 hours with all transportation from the centre included).
