Mountain life in Costa Rica can be enticing. Living in the mountains, in the countryside, enjoying the wilder side of Costa Rica is the dream of many nature lovers. Discover some tips on how to live in the mountains of Costa Rica.

The idea of leaving the comforts of the city behind can be daunting – living away from the shopping centres, entertainment venues and busy roads may not be everyone’s dream. But imagine having the opportunity to wake up to the sound of birdsong and a fresh mountain breeze.

Mountain living is ideal for those who love nature, wilderness and the open countryside. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up all the amenities; in Costa Rica, many of these mountain properties are just minutes away from major cities and most amenities.

In Nativu’s catalogue of properties, many mountain cabins have all the comforts of a city house, but in the middle of the countryside. Nature blends with modern comforts and you can enjoy the peace of the mountains without having to give up internet or drinking water.

As I said, only a few minutes from the cities, you can drive from your green paradise to the nearest supermarket, a change of scenery that fast would not have been possible anywhere else but Costa Rica.

However, remember that living in the mountains has its own challenges. You will need a car or van to get to town, as the roads may not be in the best condition. Also, knowing a little about the local wildlife can help you get to know your new furry neighbours and avoid encounters, surprises or disasters.

Remember that living in the mountains means you have a greater commitment to the environment, so be responsible with your waste.

So, if you wish to live in the mountains, do not hesitate to consult Nativu’s catalogue of properties, carefully selected for your comfort. In addition, our advisors can help you find the property that suits your needs.
