We are in this miraculous Blue Zone and have room to share !

In the heart of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, there lies a secret to a long and vibrant life. This region, known as one of the world’s five Blue Zones, is home to some of the longest-living and healthiest people on Earth. The secret? A combination of fresh, natural foods, a strong sense of community, daily movement, and a deeply ingrained positive outlook on life.

Life in the Nicoya Peninsula moves at a different pace. Here, elders wake up before dawn, sip rich, locally grown coffee, and greet the rising sun with gratitude. They tend to their gardens, walk through the lush landscapes, and spend their afternoons with family and friends, sharing stories and laughter. There is no rush—only the embrace of the moment and an appreciation for the simple joys of life.

At the heart of their diet is a centuries-old tradition of wholesome, nutritious food. Fresh fruits such as papaya, mango, and bananas grow in abundance, while homegrown beans and corn form the foundation of their meals. One of the staple dishes, gallo pinto, provides the energy and nourishment needed for an active lifestyle. The people of Nicoya also drink water rich in calcium and magnesium, believed to contribute to their strong bones and longevity.

But food is only part of the equation. The Nicoyans live by the philosophy of “plan de vida,” or life’s purpose. They wake up each day with a reason to live—whether it’s tending to their land, helping a neighbor, or passing down wisdom to younger generations. This sense of purpose, combined with close-knit social connections, keeps stress at bay and the heart full.

Optimism is woven into the fabric of their culture. Rather than dwelling on life’s difficulties, they choose to focus on what they have—family, nature, good food, and strong friendships. Laughter is plentiful, hugs are given freely, and gratitude is second nature.

Visitors to the Nicoya Peninsula often find themselves enchanted by the warmth of the people and the simplicity of their daily lives. It’s not about wealth or luxury—it’s about balance, harmony, and embracing the Pura Vida way of life. Many who come seeking answers to longevity leave with a deeper appreciation for living well, thinking positively, and nourishing the body and soul.

Perhaps the greatest lesson from Costa Rica’s Blue Zone is that longevity isn’t just about adding years to life—it’s about adding life to years. And in the land of Pura Vida, that’s exactly what they do.
