Costa Rica Vacations: Fun and Adventure
What makes Costa Rica vacations so remarkable and awe-inspiring
is the amazing diversity of Costa Rica. This diversity is not only visible
in the biological variety of the country’s flora and fauna, but also
in the assortment of vacation activities through which visitors can observe
and interact with the natural splendor of Costa Rica.
Possessing a total national territory of just under 20,000
square miles, Costa Rica is one of the smallest countries in Latin America.
Despite its diminutive size, this tropical paradise is packed with more than
a dozen volcanoes, verdant jungles that span to every border, countless rivers
and waterfalls, expansive mountains ranges, and over 755 miles of spectacular
shoreline along two oceans.
Costa Rica Facts and Usefull Information
|
|
Costa Rica contains over 35,000 km of highways in the entire country,
of which only 12% are paved. Further, travel on the majority of the
unpaid roads is nearly impossible, during the wet months of the year.
Costa Rica has one of the highest literacy rates in Central America-
at 96%. It could be argued that this is due to the surprisingly high
amount of money spent on education- there are 4 teachers to every 1
police officer in Costa Rica.

Central Americas Hidden Treasure
Although Costa Rica's economy depended heavily on coffee
exports until just recently, tourism in Costa Rica is by far the most
profitable business in Costa Rica, bringing over 1.1 billion dollars
into the country. This tourist industry is only expected to increase in
the coming years. Foreign visitors are primarily interested in
ecotourism while visiting Costa Rica, with common travel destinations
such as tropical canopy tours, and scuba diving.
Discovered by the Spanish (specifically, by Christopher Columbus), Costa
Rica's primary language is Spanish, but a surprisingly high number of
natives also speak English fluently. The highest number of English
speaking residents is on the beaches, whereas the inner areas of Costa
Rica have the lowest number of English speaking residents.
Although located in a tropical zone, Costa Rica has perhaps the best
weather balances. Featuring an average temperature of just 73 degrees
Fahrenheit, Costa Rica has perhaps the most perfect weather than
anywhere else in the world.
Costa Rica's flag consists of the three main colors associated with
freedom across the world- red, white, and blue. Costa Rica's flag
consists of two blue stripes on the top and bottom, two white stripes on
the inner top and bottom, and a large red stripe in the center. The
flag was adopted in 1964, although it was originally adopted in 1906.
Costa Rica facts are abundant in the rainforest areas. The Costa
Rican forests are home to thousands of different species, claiming 5% of
the world's total plant and animal species. In addition, exotic animals
ranging from poison dart frogs to crocodiles make their homes in Costa
Rica's rainforests. Biodiversity is high in these rainforest areas, with
over 11,000 different species of plants and over 3,000 different
species of animals.
Costa Rica's history as a country first began when Christopher
Columbus (who named the country) landed in 1502. Christopher Columbus
was on his fourth journey to America. This voyage was also his last. A
shipmate noticed the extravagant natives which were paddling out to meet
their ship as it arrived, and he thus called the area Costa Rica, which
means "Rich Coast" in Spanish.
Costa Rica, while not exactly the largest country in Internet usage,
contains over 800,000 Internet users. This means that almost 1 in every 4
people in Costa Rica uses the Information Superhighway on a regular
basis.

Retiring in Costa Rica
Why make Costa Rica your retirement destination?
Revered by many as the "Switzerland of the Americas", Costa Rica is the most
peaceful and politically stable of Central America's countries. Within its
borders, Costa Rica can offer a visitor a lush tropical paradise, but it is
the country's progressive political system and economic structure that make
it a blessing for the adventurous retiree.
Costa Rica can be aptly described as a tranquil democracy. Unlike many of
its neighboring countries, the nation is governed by way of a democratic system,
an unwavering tradition for over 150 years. In fact, Costa Ricans are so enamored
with their right to vote that election day is considered the country's most
important holiday, warranting a celebratory zeal that clearly stands for much
more than the election process. The country's devotion to democracy is realized
through its citizens' norms and values. The amicable Ticos enjoy a free and
egalitarian way of life - one that is based on a mutual respect for the authority
of law, as well as one's personal liberties.
Probably
the most significant illustration of this is the fact that Costa Rica is one
of the only diplomatically neutral countries of the world. As a part of the
doctrine that was established after the first and only revolution in the country's
history, the army was disbanded and installed in its place was the Guardia
Civil, a civilian police force. For this reason, visitors to Costa Rica
will be pleasantly surprised to see it as an exception to most all other developing
nations. It is a country that does not exist as a police state, violent crime
is among the lowest in the world, and obvious signs of abject poverty do not
pepper its streets. Instead, Costa Ricans are among the highest paid in Latin
America and the government guarantees excellent working conditions. In addition,
social programs such as subsidized health care, social security, and free
education are of a higher caliber than much of the western world.
Tranquil, affluent, welcoming - Costa Rica is considered by many North Americans
as the perfect home away from home. And no attribute of the country is more
inviting than its accessibility to foreigners. From first-time visitors to
those wishing to buy property along one of its many coastlines, Costa Rica
can offer a relatively user-friendly and low hassle experience. Those that
are seeking permanent residence will quickly realize that it can be done with
relative ease; the government places fewer restrictions on purchasing property
or starting a business than perhaps all other countries of Latin America.
In fact, both can be done without being a legal resident and while holding
just a tourist visa. This is truly a rarity for a country that is so desirable
and attractive to the paradise-seeking retiree.
