Alajuela, Costa Rica for the Nature-Lover  

 

"Pura Vida", meaning Pure Life, is not  just a common Costa Rican saying, but a way of life!  The philosophy of enjoying life slowly with a strong community, element of simplicity, and appreciation of one’s natural surroundings is truly embedded in the Costa Rican culture                          

 

Costa Rica  has no standing army and recently banned hunting as a sport, and one of its former presidents, Oscar Arias Sanchez, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987. It’s no wonder that a practice like Yoga has found a home in a country with a long-standing reputation for tranquillity.

 

Costa Rica famous for “green” ecotourism.  This is the perfect destination for those who want to mix adventure and the practice of yoga. With its lush rain forests and its long coastline, Costa Rica provides a range of different activities you don't usually associate with a yoga retreat - from zip-lining to hiking. Since the late 1980's Costa Rica became a popular nature travel destination, and its main competitive advantage is its well-established system of national parks and protected areas. Costa Rica possesses the greatest density of species in the world.

 

Alajuela is the third-largest city in Costa Rica.  Alajuela lies 20 km northwest of the capital San Jose in the beautiful Central Valley. Alajuela and its surroundings are famed for having "the best weather in the world". See you  in Costa Rica, the all-year tropical paradise!
