Costa Rica
Quiet, understated luxury
that’s profoundly local.
Costa Rica with Pura Aventura
"We're massive fans of Pura Aventura. I don't think I've ever been on such a stress-free trip and am still not quite sure how you managed it so seamlessly! Thank you - we couldn't have asked for more for our Costa Rica trip of a lifetime."
—Caroline, Pura Traveler
Our Costa Rica Vacations
From rainforest trails to quiet beaches, Costa Rica offers adventure for everyone - from wildlife lovers to families and road trippers. Each journey is shaped by local expertise and crafted with care, just for you.
"It was still possible to get off the beaten track. You don’t need to go to the really popular wildlife destinations to still have an extraordinary wildlife experience. Thank you for introducing me to a country that I really would not have gone to."
—Kate Humble, travel writer and broadcaster
Places That Stay With You
Central Valley
Wake up above the clouds, open the doors, and let the morning birdsong pour in - fresh fruit and coffee waiting just outside.
Osa Peninsula
A private bamboo hideaway, a personal chef, a plunge pool, and a vast, empty Pacific beach - simple pleasures, beautifully done.
Southern Caribbean
Just a short stroll from the beach, this boutique forest hideaway hums with reggae rhythms, local flavors, and easy Caribbean warmth.
"Growing up in a rural area, I love to share our story with people from around the world who are looking for something real and authentic. It's such a pleasure for us to be able to do that with Pura Aventura."
—Gloriana, local guide
Pura Intelligence
There’s nothing artificial about our opinions. We’re independent, so what you read here comes from real experience - and a genuine love for the few places we choose to share.
When to Go
The best time to visit Costa Rica might not be when you think. From green-season rainforests alive with life to dry-season beaches washed in sunshine, we’ll help you find your perfect moment to go.
"As with every Pura trip outstanding service and info but leaving us plenty to explore and discover for ourselves. Hand-held independence is how we regard it!"
—Sue & Tony, Pura Travelers
