Costa Rica is a Central American success story: since the
late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred its
democratic development.
Although still a largely agricultural country, it has expanded
its economy to include strong technology and tourism sectors. The standard
of living is relatively high. Land ownership is widespread.
Costa Rica is an oasis of calm among its turbulent neighbours
and an ecotourism heaven, making it one of the best places to experience
the tropics with minimal impact.
It's mostly coastline, which means great surfing, beaches
galore and a climate built for laziness.
Costa Rica's enlightened approach to conservation has ensured
that lush jungles are home to playful monkeys, languid sloths, crocodiles,
countless lizards, poison-dart frogs and a mind-boggling assortment of
exotic birds, insects and butterflies.
Meanwhile, endangered sea turtles nest on both coasts and cloud forests
protect elusive birds and jungle cats.
Costa Rica is noted for its natural beauty and friendly people. Praised
for it's abundant fauna and flora, the country has no military, no nuclear
power plants, the highest literacy rate in North America, and no winter.
