About Costa Rica

About Costa Rica
Costa Rica, meaning “The Rich Coast” sits near the narrowest point of the Central American isthmus with coasts on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. With Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, Costa Rica is without question the most economically and politically stable country in the region. Having abolished its military over 50 years ago, this tiny democratic republic has long been a favorite tourist destination for those seeking safe yet exciting adventure travel set against breathtaking scenery. A solid infrastructure and long-established tourist industry allows for comfortable travel between the country’s rainforests, volcanoes, beaches and swamps, home to a stunning 4% of the world’s biodiversity. Ticos, as Costa Ricans are known, are famously open-minded, kind and quick to welcome visitors into their homes.
