Why Move to Costa Rica – And Why You Need a Plan

Costa Rica offers a stable democracy, universal healthcare, and endless lifestyle options: from cool mountain towns to warm beach villages. But almost 40% of newcomers leave within two years because they didn’t plan for the realities.

We help you avoid the pitfalls – property and other scams, wrong location and housing choices, schools that don’t align with your child’s needs, the right legal advice – so your dream move becomes a lasting success.

School Placement
Select the Perfect School for Your Child

A dedicated, expert education consultant, proprietary databases, and personalized guidance for families. Because it’s not enough to find a school, find the exact match for your child.

Relocation Support
Settle In Seamlessly

Residency, housing, banking, healthcare, shipping, pet travel, and more, all handled with expert care. Because no two moves are the same and all demand the right next steps.

You weren’t just meant to live — you were meant to thrive. Costa Rica is calling.

Responsible Relocation

At Your Pura Vida, we believe moving abroad should enrich both your life and the place you now call home. Too often, newcomers – sometimes called “expats” – drive up housing costs, cluster in “expat bubbles,” and never fully integrate. We work with people who want to do better: learn Spanish, support local businesses, hire locally, and become part of Costa Rican society. This isn’t just relocation – it’s building a life with purpose.
