I See...C o s t a R i c a Pura Vida, universally known in Costa Rica literally translates to pure life. It’s a very common phrase used to respond to “How things are going”, a victory chant, or even a greeting! PURA VIDA!! Experience Costa Rica by partying with the locals, having the grandest adventures, viewing the wonders of nature, enjoying tropical beaches, and create memories. PARTYING WITH THE LOCALS: Club Virtigo in San Jose is one of the leading clubs in Central America that has hosted some of the best parties Costa Rica has seen. Although we literally waited in line for roughly two hours I got the richest view of the locals in between meeting people and of course people watching. THE GRANDEST ADVENTURE: The river Reventazón is located in the charming Orosi Valley in Cartago province. Adventure junkie hot spot for WHITE WATER RAFT- ING, it’s classifi ed a level 3 which sounds scary but I’m a total white water rafting rookie and I had nothing but a good time! VIEWING THE WONDERS OF NATURE: Aventuras La Carpintera, ZIPLIN- ING THROUGH THE RAINFOREST in San Vicente of Tres Rios, Cartago. I kicked off the tour with a warm meal at Hacienda Chirraca restaurant where of course you have to have a casado (Costa Rica’s notorious dish for every meal). We we’re then all piled into the back of a pick up truck, an experience in itself winding up the gorgeous wet mountain up close. When we arrive to starting point we had a training at the Canopy School some minutes after we began the adventure of 1800 meters of cable divided in 13 cables from different distances, 20 platforms. Between these platforms we will fi nd landing by rappel, hiking through a path of 300 meters. There isn’t a better way to view the wonders of nature other than zip lining through them where it’s nothing but you, a cable, and this beautiful rainforest. ENJOY THE TROPICAL BEACHES: I hoped on a bus and headed en route to Jaco, it’s one of the most popular Costa Rican beaches less than 2 hours from San Jose. Jaco has the reputation of being a ‘party beach’ with an excellent nightlife, while being a laidback, chill town. Of course I had to surf in Costa Rica! Rented a board for nearly nothing and got caught in a rain and thunderstorm, what an adventure. The downfall was defi nitely the pebble lined shore which I found wildly unpleasant so much so I got out of the water a lot sooner than I normally would have. I relaxed on the sand and got a henna tattoo as an alternative (not a bad alternative!) 110 ANNEX : BOY
