Costa Rica is a territory of only 51,000 square kilometers, surrounded by both the Pacific Ocean & Caribbean Sea, at a distance from each other of only three to four hours by land or 45 minutes by air. CLIMATE Costa Rica boasts over a dozen climatic zones, depending on factors such as altitude and proximity to the ocean. The Central Valley offers moderate climes year-round. Unless you are looking for Snow, Hail, or Freezing Rain, you are likely to find your perfect tropical climate in Pura Vida Paradise! NATURE A tiny isthmus covering 0.03 % of the earth's surface, Costa Rica represents 6% of the world's biodiversity. Characterized by impressive scenic beauty, it is also home to more than half of all mammal species on earth. With its "eco-consciousness" and a consolidated system of protected areas, Costa Rica has become synonymous with "Nature & Adventure Travel"... of course, there are lots of options for those who want to go shopping, or just enjoy the beach! PEACEFUL PEOPLE Costa Rica is known as "The Switzerland of Central America" because of its social & political stability (the oldest democracy in Central America, Costa Rica has no standing army). The local people call themselves "Ticos", and are genuinely happy to have foreigners visit... they will try to speak english, teach you spanish, or help you with whatever you need. So what would you say to all that? We'd say... "PURA VIDA PARADISE!" ![]() RETURN TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE ![]() RETURN TO THE TOP OF THIS PAGE |
