Our Vision
Our vision is to become a leading example of community-based rural tourism in Nicoya’s Blue Zone, recognized for the authenticity of our experiences, the unity of our families, and our commitment to protecting both our cultural heritage and natural environment. We envision thriving rural communities where collaboration, strategic partnerships, and local value chains create opportunities for present and future generations, preserving our roots, fostering sustainable local development, and sharing the spirit of Nicoya’s way of life with the world.
Thank You G.C.U
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Georgian Court University and, especially, to students Sabrina Halk and Paul Ramirez Clara, for their valuable collaboration and commitment to the design and development of the Pura Vida Blustyle website.
Their contribution has been essential in creating this platform, envisioned as a window that provides greater visibility to the rural communities of the Nicoya Blue Zone, their people, local entrepreneurs, traditions, knowledge, and ways of life.
Thank you for being part of this project and for helping us open new opportunities for the rural communities of the Nicoya Blue Zone.
With gratitude,
Barra Honda Community
