Why We Love This Escape
We love Pura Vida Adventures for so many reasons. In addition to their spirit of community and commitment to their guests, Pura Vida also supports the environment and local community. Their hotel partner, Tropical Latino, leads beach clean-up projects, environmental education initiatives, and other efforts designed to protect the local eco-system. The Pura Vida team also founded a program called Leashes for Locals that helps to equip community youth with supplies they need to enjoy surfing.
