Lifestyle:

Happiness Abounds: Tagged as "the happiest people on earth," Costa Ricans (Ticos) revel in a robust democracy for almost 160 years, with a remarkable 63 years entirely military-free since 1948. Resources flow into education, health, and environmental protection, reflected in the 161 National Parks, Reserves, and Refuges covering 26% of the country.

Quality Living: Enjoy an exceptional lifestyle with affordable medical care, secure property rights, a thriving investment climate, robust transportation networks, and a myriad of activities.

Legal Protections: Foreign property owners benefit from the same legal protections as citizens, fostering a sense of security and trust.

Favorable Tax System: Property tax rates significantly lower than in North America contribute to a favorable financial environment.

Political Stability: Dubbed the 'Switzerland of the Americas,' Costa Rica boasts over 100 years of democracy, political stability, and a commitment to disarmament (abolishing its army in 1948).

High Living Standards: With a 96% literacy rate, Costa Rica boasts high living standards, top-notch medical care, and superior education levels in the region.

Foreign Investment Magnet: Stability and a robust tourism industry attract major foreign investments from industry giants like GlaxoSmithKline, Intel, Proctor & Gamble, and Microsoft.
