Costa Rica

This Central America country is a very pleasant surprise! Costa Rica has experienced steady economic expansion over the past 25 years and is one of the most highly developed countries in the area. Its people rank high in world Happiness Reports and the country has abolished its military as of 1948, right after the end of the civil war. This is quite surprising given that the surrounding area has been long plagued by dictatorships and coup d’ etats. How can magical Costa Rica manage to stay peaceful? You will find out with Exotic Tours as your guide.

Costa Rica is Spanish for “Rich Coast”. It is excessively rich when it comes to biodiversity (it contains 5% of earth’s biodiversity – a density that is unmatched anywhere else in the world). Having shifted the emphasis on ecology and sustainable green development, Costa Rica is green and lush year-round with trees covering 50% of its area, as opposed to 20% of the 1980’s. In 2009 it was listed as the greenest and happiest country in the world, according to a list that ranks nations by combining measures of their ecological footprint with the happiness of their citizens. It boasts stunning beaches, while San Hose’, the capital, is especially picturesque, with intense Spanish colonial elements that linger after the end of Spanish rule when the country declared its independency in 1821.
