Marlon Bustos Araya, our founder, moved to Texas from Costa Rica where he was the operations and property manager for 3 Eco Lodges as well as the head adventure guide for tourist groups. Upon arriving in Texas, Marlon started Pura Vida Home & Commercial Services because it allowed him to use his property management skills, his love for nature and the outdoors and his hospitality when working with clients. His experience flying in the tree tops of the rainforest while guiding zipline adventures have been especially helpful for his tree trimming projects. For Marlon, the most important part of the job is honesty and integrity. Please call us if we can help on any projects and be sure to ask Marlon about his experience representing Costa Rica at white water rafting championships around the world.
