What a slice of heaven! Pura Vibra is super cute and it’s a block or two away from the main hub of the town so it’s very easy to find shops and restaurants but it’s also nice and quiet! There’s a lovely sitting area in the back with some garden area and I saw tons of small wildlife just there! All the workers are so helpful and it’s super easy to just text them on Whatsapp. The tours you can book with them are also really great and super easy to book (and less expensive than the other ones I saw
