Marenal
A Sustainable Community for Peace, Freedom and Pura Vida
Our “MARENAL Sustainable Community for Peace, Freedom and Pura Vida” is a collaboration of local Costa Rican's and an international group of freedom-loving and peaceful individuals and their families, who want to live a life of self-determination in a healthy and safe environment.
We are a mixed-use development with a few commercial and residential properties on Road 143 a secondary National Road. The remainder of our residential properties are in the sight protected interior. All properties have beautiful views of Lake Arenal and the mountains beyond.
Our slogan of Freedom, Peace and Pura Vida simply means to us ....

Personal Freedom stands for Liberty and the right of any individual to make their own decisions about their life without interference, as long as one does not deliberately hurt animal or man.
-
Peace means the rejection of violence and of any war, and

Our goals are based on our respect for the native ecosystem and its bio diversity.
