A Piece of the Costa Rican Rainforest · Pura Vida for You

A piece of the rainforest. A pretty green bit of happiness.

Someone really hit the mark when it comes to your love of adventure. Your Land Gift connects you to the Children’s Eternal Rainforest in Costa Rica. With a canopy of leaves, wanderlust, and a beautiful story that’s now yours, too.

A glimpse of the rainforest.
A gift with a special story

This forest began with a big little idea.

Children’s Eternal Rainforest—the children’s eternal rainforest. Just the name alone makes you a little happy, doesn’t it?

In the late 1980s, children from Sweden helped launch an international movement to protect this forest. Today, the Monteverde Conservation League manages the Children’s Eternal Rainforest. And your plot of land is located near the Pocosol station.

Maybe your next adventure starts here. Maybe it’s just a nice thought to ponder every now and then: Someone has given you a place where you can feel a sense of connection.

How does your little corner of the world feel today?

The current weather in La Fortuna gives you a glimpse of the region. The town is located about 13 km as the crow flies from the property. In the rainforest near Pocosol, rainfall and temperatures may vary.

It's okay for your mind to get a head start

More tree canopy. Less everyday life.

01

Look slowly.

A leaf, a sound, a new shade of green. In the rainforest, it’s often the little things that make the biggest impression. Time and curiosity are good travel companions.

02

Getting to Know the Green.

At Pocosol, nature trails wind through the forest. A guided tour can help you take a closer look. Contact the station directly for details and reservations.

03

Stay a little longer.

Staying overnight turns a day trip into a little adventure. The station offers rooms and meals that can be booked separately. Your visit deserves some careful planning.

Pura Vida also starts with good food

First, let's have breakfast. Then let's explore the world.

Gallo Pinto. Good morning, Costa Rica.

Rice and beans, along with, say, an egg and a cup of Costa Rican coffee. That’s the perfect way to start a day of travel. After that, the adventure can wait—or you can just have a second cup.

A break at a “soda.”

You can get to know the region's cuisine at small, local restaurants. Check out what's on the daily menu and discover a new favorite flavor.

Fruity prospects.

Browse for fresh fruit at the market, take a break on the beach, and share stories of your best moments together. Sometimes, all it takes to create good memories is a set table.

Simple Questions. Clear Answers.

Everything okay? Let's clear that up quickly.

Will I incur any costs or obligations later on?

There are no ongoing property costs or annual payments associated with your land gift. We also cover the property tax. You don’t have to worry about forest maintenance or take a trip there. You are responsible for paying for your own travel and any separately booked travel services.

What exactly has been assigned to me?

Your personal share is documented in the HappyLandGifts land registry. Ownership of the property remains with HappyLandGifts; the land gift does not make you the owner in the state land registry. Your share and its size are listed on your certificate.

Can I visit my rainforest?

Yes, you can explore your land gift. Local regulations apply to access and use within the protected area. Please coordinate your visit to Pocosol in advance with the reserve administration.

May I stay overnight on the property?

Overnight stays are generally included in the Landgeschenk package. Please coordinate a suitable location and the conditions in advance within the protected area. Booked accommodations at the station are a separate travel service.

Do the photos show my specific property?

The general forest images are atmospheric photos from the publicly available image library. They are not documented photos of your plot. On the station's website, you'll find more images from Pocosol.

How do I register my Costa Rica gift?

On the registration form, select “Rainforest” and enter the full certificate number. This will allow us to track your gift. You will receive your personal land registry extract after registration.

Do I have to leave right now?

Only if you're feeling the urge to travel. You might as well look at pictures, learn about the history of the forest, and enjoy a gift that shows someone was thinking of you.

A gift. A piece of the world. Your story.

A favorite green thought. For you.

Maybe it will turn into a big journey. Maybe just a little smile on a gray Monday. It's nice that someone gave you a little piece of this world.
