What do expats in Mal Pais appreciate most about the local culture?

"Expats in Mal Pais appreciate the laid back atmosphere and the close knit community feel of the town. They love the relaxed, tropical lifestyle with plenty of opportunities to enjoy swimming, surfing, kayaking, hiking and other activities. They also appreciate the stunning natural beauty of the area, with lush tropical forests, volcanic mountains, secluded beaches and the stunning sunsets. People in the area have an easy going and friendly attitude, often helping out and being very welcoming, further adding to its charm," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mal Pais, Costa Rica.

"We love the Pura Vida vibe. Some people say it doesn't exist, but for us we notice the simple laid back attitude everyday. We love the local people and have made many friends. We appreciate the simplicity. I especially love the surprises! For example, the horses walking down the street grazing on the graze unattended. The iguana that lives on my roof. The monkeys steeling my avocado and then pooping in my floor after I hid all the fruit. The fruit bat that fell on my computer keyboard out of nowhere! I love the "you don't see that everyday!" aspect of life here," commented one expat who made the move to Mal Pais, Costa Rica.
