Costa Rica is known for its expression “Pura Vida” (Pure Life). It is distinguished by the kindness and warmth of its people. Costa Rica is a small country located in Central America, but full of a rich bio-diversity, with lush mountains, rivers, volcanoes, beautiful beaches and abundant fauna. It is a country you must experience for yourself. Come be a part of how God is moving in Costa Rica. You will never be the same.
