“Pura
Vida” is what you will hear everyone saying here in Costa Rica.
It means “pure life” and that is absolutely what you will find when
visiting and living in this enchanting country of Costa Rica.
Costa
Rica’s friendly three million people, or Ticos as they call themselves, invite
you to come and experience their tranquil country, with its long and beautiful
coastlines, alluring waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific, pristine beaches
and spectacular green mountains.
Costa
Rica’s government has been an outstanding example of an enduring democracy for
over fifty years. Costa Rica enjoys
full political stability. The
country abolished its army in 1948, preferring instead to spend the money that
would normally be used for military purposes on education and first-rate medical
services.
The
country is a geographic wonderland full of rich tropical forest, black and white
sandy beaches, three mountain ranges, volcanoes, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and
nature more abundant than anywhere else on the planet.
All this is contained within a relatively small space of 19,700 square
miles. Costa Rica holds 6% of the
world’s biodiversity. There are
10,000 varieties of plants, 1,200 of them orchids.
There are 1,240 species of butterflies and 845 species of birds. Among the animal life, 205 classifications of mammals inhabit
Costa Rica, as do 160 kinds of amphibians, 218 types of reptiles and l,013
varieties of fresh and salt water fish. The
diverse natural settings means Costa Rica also offers a huge range of local tours for its visitors and residents from hiking, biking, kayaking,
rafting, fishing, diving to simply playing on the beautiful beaches.
It’s what makes Costa Rica the “must-see” destination of the
Western Hemisphere if not the world.
