The seafood here is rich in species, fresh and delicious. Although seafood is not a traditional Costa Rican dish, most menus have seafood marinated in ceviche (ceviche, raw fish or shrimp, seasoned with ceviche and served on ice). On the Caribbean coast, don’t miss rondón, a spicy seafood gumbo.

When traveling in this beautiful country, you will hear “Pura vida” over and over again. It is greeting, goodbye instead of “goodbye”, or thank you. “Pura vida” is translated as “pure life”-not just the slogans of Costa Ricans and the decorations on travel souvenirs. This is a well-meaning mantra that reflects the Costa Rican way of life.

The country is full of ecological treasures and the standard of living is high. All of this has created Costa Rica, an oasis of peace and tranquility in a corner of the world that is constantly being damaged by war. Although Costa Ricans are naturally proud, their response to someone complimenting their country is likely to be just a warm smile and two words: pura vida.
