Nestled on Costa Rica’s vibrant Caribbean coast, Pura Ride Puerto Viejo is more than a rental and tour company — it’s a story of passion, adventure, and love for this tropical paradise.
For over 25 years, Pura Ride has been part of Puerto Viejo’s heart and soul, offering travelers and locals an authentic way to explore the region’s stunning nature, colorful culture, and relaxed island spirit.
About us and our vision born from love for Costa Rica
The story begins with Sergio Vallejo, a visionary entrepreneur from Colombia. When he first arrived in Costa Rica, he fell in love with its lush jungles, warm people, and the unique rhythm of Puerto Viejo — a coastal gem known for its surf breaks, reggae vibes, and natural wonders. What began as a trip soon became a lifelong passion for the land of pura vida.
Driven by his admiration for Costa Rica, Sergio dreamed of sharing its beauty with others. That dream became Pura Ride Puerto Viejo — a company dedicated to offering safe, fun, and unforgettable ways to discover the Caribbean coast through ATV rentals, scooters, motorcycles, and guided adventures.
From One Shop to a Local Legacy
What started as a small shop with a few vehicles has grown into five thriving locations across Puerto Viejo. Under Sergio’s leadership, Pura Ride has evolved into a symbol of reliability, excitement, and genuine hospitality.
Over the years, the company has grown alongside the community, always staying true to its roots — personal service, honest values, and a deep love for the region. Travelers know that when they choose Pura Ride, they’re not just renting a vehicle; they’re connecting with a team that lives and breathes Puerto Viejo.
A Family Business with Costa Rican Soul
Today, Pura Ride remains proudly family-run. Sergio’s two sons, born and raised in Costa Rica, carry on his adventurous spirit and dedication to excellence. Together, they blend Colombian passion with Costa Rican pura vida, ensuring every guest feels like part of the family.
The Vallejo family’s philosophy is simple: treat every guest like a friend, and every ride like an opportunity to create lasting memories. This heartfelt approach has powered Pura Ride’s success for more than two decades, making it a beloved name among locals and travelers alike.
