Welcome to another episode of the Outdoor Adventure Series—Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Marat Omarov, the visionary founder behind The ARK, a regenerative village nestled in the stunning landscape of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.
Marat unpacks his extraordinary journey: from growing up in Kazakhstan under strict Soviet influence, to breaking free from programming, and ultimately discovering his calling to design a new kind of community rooted in authenticity, human connection, and harmony with nature.
Marat shares the inspiration behind The ARK, a place where residents and visitors alike can unplug, reconnect with the land, and experience true regeneration—not just of the local environment, but also of mind, body, and spirit.
