Uvita Unplugged: Pure Pura Vida

Our time in Uvita was nothing short of a blast. We surfed gentle waves at Playa Uvita, hiked to hidden waterfalls and ate delicious casado at roadside sodas. Even routine tasks like grocery shopping felt like mini adventures when you’re navigating a new language and currency with kids in tow. This laid‑back village reminded us why Costa Rica’s motto is “Pura Vida”—it’s a lifestyle of enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

Family travel tip: Uvita’s Whale Tail is best seen at low tide—check schedules and walk out early. Support local eateries and try traditional dishes like gallo pinto and ceviche. Remember to unplug—Wi‑Fi can be spotty, but that’s part of the charm.
