Hola! Pura Vida!
Rachel Ivanyi is looking forward to creating wonderful artworks with you on this beautiful Art Safari painting holiday in Costa Rica!
You are invited to join her on this enchanting visit to the tropical paradise of Costa Rica, 26 July - 05 August 2025. Come with Rachel to paint the verdant forests, sweeping beaches and colourful wildlife in the national parks on 'Pura Vida' a sketching and painting tour organised by Art Safari. Art Safari has been leading painting tours world wide since 2003 and we are delighted to be sharing this exciting Costa Rica tour with you.
Have you dreamed of painting in Costa Rica? Welcoming and colourful, this country allows you to set aside every other commitment, to be swept along by the moment and to enjoy the Pura Vida! Each day you have opportunities to fill your sketchbook with watercolor memories of adventures and beautiful views. Your day ends with an amazing meal shared with your fellow art-minded friends. Best of all… it starts all over again the next day. This is the rich, wonderful, dream-come-true quality of our watercolor workshop vacation.
Pura Vida is the unofficial motto of Costa Rica. It means so much more than 'pure life' as you will hear it as a greeting or a farewell, or an expression during a conversation. Pura Vida expresses an easy-going attitude that is all about making the most of the simple things in life, enjoying nature, people, good company, good food and the time we spend together.
If you are interested in reserving your place on this tour, please email Mary-Anne, Hollie, Harriet or Nancy at Art Safari: info@artsafari.com or call +44 1394 382235. We will list this tour on www.artsafari.com but want to give you advance booking priority, so please contact us soon.
