Its impressive scenic beauty, extensive system of protected areas, social and political stability, high educational levels and efficient infrastructure characterize Costa Rica. All of this is offered in a territory of only 51 thousand square kilometers, where 2 hemispheres and two oceans meet.

Informed travelers are finding Costa Rica the perfect location for a first or second home. This peaceful, Spanish speaking nation is a longstanding democracy. In 1947, it abandoned the necessity for armed forces in favor of funding education and healthcare. As a result, the literacy rate and healthcare rival those of North America and Europe.

These protected areas total over 25% of the national territory, which means Costa Rica has a larger percentage of its total surface area set aside in parks and reserves than any other country in the world.
