Pura Vida sur la côte Caraïbe
Quand l’expression « Pura Vida » prend tout son sens…
Tu viens de commander un jus de fruit frais, on te le sert, tu payes et le serveur te répond « Con gusto » (« avec plaisir »), « Pura Vida! ». Pura Vida?
« Pura Vida » veut littéralement dire « Vie Pure » mais je dirais que la signification de cette expression se traduirait en français par « la vie est belle ». On l’utilise pour dire « c’est cool », « bonjour » ou « aurevoir », « merci », « c’est génial »…
Cette expression, je l’ai entendue vraiment souvent au Costa Rica, mais pour moi elle a pris tout son sens sur la côte Caraïbe, dans les petites villes de Cahuita et Puerto Viejo.
Situées à une demie heure l’une de l’autre, ces stations balnéaires ressemblent plus à des villages : quelques rues principales dans lesquelles se concentrent quelques cabanes colorées, bars, restaurants et hôtels. Très touristiques mais sans en avoir trop l’air, on s’attache rapidement à leur ambiance très détendue, baba cool à la jamaïcaine, bref Pura Vida.
Comment passer le temps? Il fait bon prendre un vélo et aller se poser à la plage (de belles plages de sable blanc ou noir), bouquiner dans un hammak, surfer sur de belles (et grosses vagues) ou juste se promener les pieds dans le sable. Le parc naturel de Cahuita est également une belle surprise pour un parc gratuit: une belle marche dans la forêt, tout près de la plage, et de nombreux animaux (racoons, singes, paresseux, serpents, crabes bleus, …) pour mon plus grand plaisir.
Pura Vida!
