WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING

“I just had to write and tell you how this trip has just completely affected me. First of all, it reminded me how to LIVE, what it felt like to live, love the world. It was Malpais and everyone at surf camp… just reminding me what life really is all about, and the ocean and surfing of course. Truly – it’s so awesome that you have Pura Vida and know that everything you’ve created really touches people (me) in more ways than just a “surfing adventure”…

SURF CAMP, SUSTAINABILITY, AND GIVING BACK

We love our community in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica! That’s why we created “Leashes for Locals,” a program that provides surf resources to the kids in our town. We are also proud to partner with our hotel, Tropico Latino, in environmentally sustainable initiatives that protect our coast – rated one of the world’s most beautiful beaches!
