Costa Rica is an exception to the rule

Happiness is inside of us, and we shouldn’t chase it trying to find happiness traveling to other parts of the world. I do agree with this statement, but there is always the exception that proves the rule.

If you feel like it is time for you to get away from the big city and your everyday stress to discover a world of rainbows, pastel sunsets, pink sand beaches and stunning biodiversity that will leave you speechless — welcome to Costa Rica!

People here are amazing, always smiling and happy to see you. It feels so good to be welcomed by them.

Costa Rica is a small country, but it has a numerous places worth visiting.

I will start with my favorite spots. They may not be the most popular touristic places, but they are certainly the most beautiful ones, where you won’t see big groups of tourists.

It is very rainy here, but who cares when such a beauty is in front of you?

Get a cozy Airbnb with a fireplace or a stay in a gorgeous boutique hotel in the middle of the forest and discover some of the most beautiful waterfalls of Costa Rica.

You can choose a strenuous hike of around 10 km or an easy walk to a waterfall of blue ponds with a picnic once you get there. If you are adventurous, you may choose to hike up the volcano.

Ready for a cool beach experience?

The Pink Island is a magical and unique place full of local Nosara history… It’s like going to another planet but right here, off the gorgeous Nicoya Peninsula coastline! Even better is that Guanacaste’s real nature surrounds it; it is a great place to put a mask on and see what is underwater! Turtles, sardines, parrotfish, and some other reef fish are waiting for you.

After snorkeling, swim to the island during the day to enjoy the blue water natural tide pools. Or wait until sunset when the sand becomes even pinker, and take in the beauty of this place by sipping cool coconut water served by the crew!

Want to get off the grid and reconnect with nature, enjoying the exceptional wildlife surrounded by primary forest?

If your answer is yes, you will love Matapalo. It is a very special place where I come to recharge my batteries and rewire.

Matapalo is a small, laid-back beach village located at the tip of the Osa Peninsula in the south of Costa Rica, one hour from the Panama border, filled with small cabins and eco-lodges that prompt guests to enjoy an all-encompassing experience with nature.

If you are a surfer, you will find some of the best right-hand point breaks here, and if you want to unwind, you will enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches and sunsets. Matapalo is also a great base to visit Corcovado National Park — one of the most biodiverse places in the world!

Destinations

This place is known as the capital of waterfalls.

The canyoneering tour is one of the most exciting adventures in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has many waterfalls. This one will remind you of the landing bay in Jurassic Park, which was actually filmed on Coco Island in Costa Rica!

This is a one-of-a-kind place you will remember Costa Rica for!

There is THE perfect place to escape, relax, live simply, free your mind, and find your balance!

From humble beginnings, this place has evolved into a yoga Mecca. Now it attracts both novices and those looking to deepen their practice from all over the globe. With disciplines ranging from Vinyasa, Acro, Kundalini, surfer-specific yoga, and many more, it is the perfect place to immerse oneself in this incredibly calming activity.

You can join a community class or even one of the yoga retreats, or book a private with me — you will be sure to find no shortage of options to suit your style and requirements.

There is a place in the Guanacaste region that has a reputation as Central America’s leading yoga hot spot, and this reputation is trustworthy. The soul-soothing sights, sounds, and ambiance of the Pacific jungle landscape were the foundations for early pioneering yoga communities here.

All who come here to practice this life-changing art find that the natural environment of this place acts as a perfect catalyst to a deep state of serene awareness and often leave determined to return.
