# COSTA RICA VIDA (Travel Series)

![COSTA RICA VIDA (Travel Series)](https://libreriadelmare.it/wp-content/uploads/costa-rica-vida-lale-arikoglu-assouline.jpg)

There are places that don't just welcome you, they change you and **Costa Rica** is one of them. *Costa Rica Vida* takes readers beneath the jungle canopy of this **wild, untamed land**, where **biodiversity** is staggering, the coastlines are unspoiled and a ***Pura Vida* philosophy** permeates every aspect of daily life. Structured as a deeply personal journey, the book moves chronologically through a writer's encounter with this small but extraordinary nation, capturing the tension between its **ancient wilderness **and its **contemporary vitality**.

Written by Lale Arikoglu, articles director of *Condé Nast Traveler* and host of the award-winning *Women Who Travel *podcast, the title explores Costa Rica's **beaches, surf culture, wildlife, culinary scene and the communities** that animate them all, with **photography by Oliver Pilcher**. This is not a country of grand cities or manicured grandeur. It is something far rarer: a place where **luxury **and wildness exist in perfect, exhilarating tension. For those who find beauty in the untouched and adventure in the unknown, *Costa Rica Vida* is an essential companion to one of the world's most magnificently alive destinations.
