This place attracts more than 1 million visitors every year. Many already consider it to be the most attractive and diverse nation in Latin America. It's easy to get to and direct flights leave major airports in the U.S. every day.
Costa Rica has been the buzzword for overseas retirement and eco-travel for almost 20 years. It's a small, peaceful oasis of staggering beauty... a mysterious world of volcanoes and rare creatures found nowhere else on earth.
More ‘theme park’ than country, it’s one of the few places in the world where you can have a fresh-fruit breakfast on a deserted Caribbean beach, eat lunch on a volcano, and watch the sun slip slowly into the Pacific... all in one day!
Many lucky investors and retirees have already made out big here, but the real boom is still ahead.
Friendly, peaceful and progressive, "the Rich Coast" is one of the world's top eco-tourism destinations. With almost a quarter of the country either a national park or a protected area, opportunities to explore natural wonders are abundant. See big cats in Corcovado National Park, monkeys and turtles in Tortuguero or oodles of orchids in Monteverde Cloud Forest. Central America's most visited nation also offers great surfing, amazing beaches at Tamarindo and the spectacularly active Arenal volcano.
