In recent years, Costa Rica has become a major international destination for those seeking to enjoy beauty in life. With over 100 years of peaceful democracy, political and economic stability, competitive labor costs and well educated workforce (96% national literacy rate), Costa Rica offers an attractive investment climate.

In a country whose motto is “Pura Vida”, which means Pure Life, Costa Rica appeals to many people for a variety of different reasons. Costa Rica has one of the highest standards of living in Latin America. Because it enjoys the oldest and most stable democratic government in Latin America, it has no army, and because it has a low violent-crime rate, Costa Rica is now home to more Americans per capita than any other country outside the United States.

While the country covers only 19,730 square miles, Costa Rica enjoys a biodiversity unmatched in most other countries. In fact, 25% of the national territory is protected in 26 national parks, 10 biological reserves, 139 protected areas and more than 100 private preserves and refuges. Truly, the country appreciates the beauty is holds.
