A Pura Vida Retreat

The Pura Vida of Monteverde
Monteverde, Costa Rica, is a place that truly embodies the Pura Vida lifestyle. Perched at 4,662 ft above sea level, it’s a region evergreen due to the precipitation and moisture-filled clouds that hover over the horizon almost daily. These cloud forests are a byproduct of fog tangling amongst the leaves and branches of the forest canopy, creating a unique and lush ecosystem.
Monteverde is home to tens of thousands of diverse insects, 2,500 species of plants (420 of which are strictly orchids), 400 varieties of birds, and over 100 types of mammals. It’s a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you choose to hike down forest trails, embark on a canopy tour with a suspension bridge, or take aerial photographs from a sky tram, there’s an option for every energy level and ability.
The Journey to Pura Vida at Cabinas Capulin
The journey to Cabinas Capulin is an adventure in itself. The road to Santa Elena, the gateway to Monteverde, can be bumpy and challenging, but it’s all part of the experience. Some even refer to the ride as a “Costa Rica massage.” It’s recommended to leave the driving to a professional familiar with Monteverde’s landscape, so be sure to book transportation services along with your accommodations and tours.
As you ascend to Monteverde, you’ll experience multiple transitions of temperature, moisture, vegetation, and terrain. The weather at the top of the divide is influenced primarily by the Pacific’s predictable salty dryness and the warm wet Caribbean winds, creating a unique habitat that fuels this unique region.
