Costa Rica

by Helga67 - last update: Jul 17, 2005

C O S T A . R I C A is a small country in Central America, situated between Nicaragua and Panama. As it has no army (since 1949), the money is spent for schooling and health care. This makes the country a political stable and economical prosperous country.

Costa Rica is well-known for its eco-tourisme. It has a very rich biological diversity and an overwhelming nature. Volcanoes, rain and cloud forests, rivers, waterfalls, beaches and two oceans make this country very attractive.

Not only nature but also wildlife and the most friendly people I have ever met will make your trip unforgettable.

PURA VIDA (pure life) is the motto of Costa Rica. I can only show you a glimpse of what it means. Visit the country and find out for yourself!
