Casa Rio Tortuga - Mariposa Casita - Adults Only - Newly Built

I met Costa Rica in January of 2021. I had Covid the previous October and the country having just re-opened, allowed travelers with the antibodies to come visit. A country where tourism is a huge part of their livelihood, I fell in love.
I immediately canceled my February Florida trip ( I’ve been avoiding Michigan winters for years now) and stayed until early March that year. People here are kind, considerate and love nature. The toxic political divide, toxic food, and loss of decorum in the north made me realize I needed a change. In November of 2023 I left that behind and am enjoying the Pura Vida lifestyle.

In January of ‘23 I explored the pacific coast and discovered the OSA region where the rainforest hills meet the ocean. Where waterfalls, flora and fauna abound.
The idea of what I always thought Costa Rica would be. Ojochal is tucked up off Ruta 34 and is a planned neighborhood divided into phases by a French developer. It’s a village in the jungle and is beautiful. You don’t hear or see the buses and trucks and human pollution. Rivers, ocean, majestic trees, birds, turtles, butterflies, monkeys all abound. A true paradise. Phase 10 is a gated community nestled back in Ojochal and is beautifully relaxing.
