Pura Vida: Costa Rica

I could stare out the window looking upon Costa Rica all day. It’s truely amazing to drive/fly over the thousands upon thosands of Palms that supply almost all our palm oil here in the States. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Manuel Antonio, don’t worry about the drive, it’s full of gorgeous sites, like the famous Macaws, palm farms and stunning cliffs.

We were fortunate enough to stay with a wonderful group of friends at Villa Paraiso a Conde Nast Traveller jungle hilltop hideaway that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

I had no complaints, this is the second time we’ve stayed at this property and it is literally breathtaking.
