Costa Rica is a marvel of a place and that’s not an overstatement. Officially the happiest nation in the world, the country, whose name means “Rich Coast”, is the most developed Central American country, being much more advanced in terms of civil liberties and human rights than countries with more money or a bigger history. Costa Rica emerged out of a civil war in 1948, and the first decision after that was historical: the president dissolved the army, with the funds previously used for the military being redirected to security, education and culture. Costa Rica only has a police force, but there’s no permanent military force, a clear sign that the country moved on from its militarized past. This should give you an idea about the kind of people ruling and living in Costa Rica.
Although not a rich country by many standards, Costa Rica intends to be the first carbon neutral country by 2021 and its ecological sustainability index is the highest in the region. Costa Rica is a truly progressive country, which unlike many Central American countries, found a good multicultural and multiethnic balance, with all the human rights and civil participation indices being higher than those of the countries in the same economical categories.
Costa Rica has a tropical climate throughout the year, with two major seasons: winter and summer. The winter season is characterized by rains and a generally lower temperature, while the summer is drier and hotter. Nevertheless, the country has many microclimates, depending on the elevation and the level of rain falls per region. Costa Rica is a relevant player on the coffee market, as well as having a good pharmaceutical and microprocessor producing industry, but Costa Rica really shines also when it comes to tourism. With 2.1 million tourists visiting the country in 2010, Costa Rica is the most visited country in Central America. Costa Rica is one of the few countries to truly encourage and sustain ecoturism. The country has a number of national parks and protected areas, which are famous for their biodiversity. So it’s no wonder that some of the most attractive touristic activities in Costa Rica include trekking, bird watching and flora and wildlife watching. There are many species of animals and plants that are either specific to Costa Rica or are very limited in numbers.
Costa Rica maintains a very healthy balance between tourist activity, using a significant part of the profits made from tourism for the protection of the eco habitat. Actually, Costa Rica is one of the highest ranked countries in terms of ethical travelling. If you’re more into extreme sports, the country offers a range of activities, like bungee jumping, snorkeling, surfing and many more. Costa Rica also has a number of extinct and active volcanoes, which can be visited, as well as over a dozen authorized beaches.
The country’s ancient history is reflected by a number of archeological sites, encompassing the country’s long past. Costa Rica was under Spanish rule for a long time, with the oldest artifacts identified on the territory of the country being attributed to Mesoamericans and Andean populations. With so many tourists visiting the country yearly, there are many airports active in the country. If you want to go to Costa Rica, a private jet charter or an international company flight are the most common types of air transport. Within the country, it’s recommended to use auto and train transports, as this is a good way to enjoy the scenery as well.
