The Caravan. Beach Front Avion living

There is something very special and adventurous about stay in vintage Avion Imperial from 1968. Even thought she is stationary, it feel like being drifted away at any moment for an unforgettable traveler's experience. A cozy, creative, minimalistic camper can be the perfect choice included in your trip in Costa Rica. Tiny living doesn't mean space limits but being inspired by bold design, smart hacks and spending more time in connection with nature.
