Details
The Assouline Costa Rica Vida Book is a portrait of a small country with outsized wilderness — staggering biodiversity, coastline that has largely escaped development, and a Pura Vida philosophy that shapes the pace of daily life. Written by Lale Arikoglu, articles director at Condé Nast Traveler and host of the Women Who Travel podcast, it moves as a personal journey rather than a guidebook.
Photography by Oliver Pilcher carries the reader through surf towns, jungle canopy, wildlife, and the kitchens and communities behind the country's food scene. What emerges is the tension that makes Costa Rica singular: real wildness and real luxury holding each other in balance. 288 linen-bound pages, a fitting gift for the traveler who prizes the untouched.
