Our area of Garabito measures over 300 km2 and offers a geography that spans from mountain ranges to over 15 different types of beaches (from white to black volcanic sands) creating an incredibly biodiverse area that offers a plethora of lifestyle options. The general local pace of life is laidback, connected to nature & embracing an active lifestyle.
With over 30 years in the area, in our experience Pura Vida is more then just a lifestyle, it's about the way you look at life and how you deal with the little things that life can throw at you, lines at the bank? No worries you can go another day or bring a book... A flat bike tire; no problem drop it off at the local bike shop and walk to the beach (there's nothing nature can't cure!) The sentiment is to slow down and be present to what's around you, experience the pleasure of community, growing your own food (enjoying nature) and remembering to be present.
Jaco, which is the main Beach Town in Garabito (where the local Municipality, courts and main offices for services are mostly located) offers a perfect centralized location that's easy to explore other areas and is just 1.5 hours from the closest international airport (Juan Santa Maria). Jaco beach is a walkable town with easy access to the beach, local hikes in nature, waterfalls and so much more!

Fun Fact: a big area of Garabito is part of the scarlet macaw biological corridor and it's common to see them at the beach eating beach almonds and flying overhead through town (listen for the loud squawk!) https://biocorredores.org/corredoresbiologicos/corredores-biologicos/corredor-biologico-paso-de-las-lapas
