professional photographer

[@carolinadelaossa7383]

Actually you forgot the uses of the phrase Pura vida. 1) Pura vida?: how's it going? 2) Pura vida: yes I'm doing wonderful. 3)pura vida!: thank you. 4)he/she is Pura vida: he/she is nice (also used to describe places).

[@quinnthehobbit6680]

Yes but they were going for the literal translation, "pure life"

[@sweeneyzx]

This was like a really good selection of B-Roll, still liked it though!

[@elgemeruzumaki3892]

[@MikhaelAhava]

Part of it sounds creepy, or is it just me?

[@fluffyfox6045]

MiguelPmpM yeah 😂😂😂

[@generalalduin9548]

You mean the part with the weird whispering

[@elirojas8429]

It does get creepy at times, mostly iln the early morning depending on your location.
In tortuguero you get woken up by the sound of the beginning + howling monkeys 😍

[@CostaRicaTowSurfer]

Family trip video. Needs more wildlife to showcase "pura vida". Nice visuals of the rainy season.

[@MikhaelAhava]

Well great, but there are some things I don't like about nature, more like fears.
