Costa Rica

Location and Geography

Costa Rica is strategically located in Central America, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east. This privileged country connects North America with South America, creating a natural bridge that hosts exceptional biological diversity within a relatively small territory.

Outstanding Natural Features

The country stands out for its impressive active volcanoes, dense tropical rainforests, and national parks that protect over 25% of its territory. From the misty mountains of Monteverde to the pristine beaches of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica offers a diversity of ecosystems including cloud forests, mangroves, and coral reefs.

Culture and Sustainability

Known for its philosophy of 'Pura Vida', Costa Rica is a world pioneer in sustainable ecotourism and environmental conservation. The country abolished its military in 1948, investing in education and environmental protection, which has created a peaceful society that is environmentally conscious and welcomes visitors with genuine Costa Rican warmth.
