"Costa Rica is a Central American success story"

The fact that more than one and a half million tourists visit Costa Rica every year doesn't happen by chance. This country, located in Central America, is an isthmus where life seems to have created its roots. Covering only 0.03% of the surface of our planet, Costa Rica has approximately 6% of the world's biodiversity. And, 25.58% of its territory is protected through different conservation efforts.

In addition, Costa Rica is characterized by an impressive scenic beauty, a consolidated system of protected areas, social and political stability, high educational levels, and efficient infrastructure and services. All this, in a territorycomprised by only 19.7 thousand square miles(51 thousand square kilometers), surrounded by boththePacific and Atlantic Oceans. The two oceans are only three to four hours away from each other by land or 45 minutes by air.
