Don’t speak Spanish? No hay problema-English is the official second language. Pay your way in either CR colones or US dollars.  Live near others in a gated development or build a house miles from your nearest neighbor. Take advantage of the local cuisine or shop and prepare your own fare. Looking for adventure? Join a group of 30 new friends and spend a day or two whitewater rafting. Too crowded? Set off on your own with just camera and water in hand to any one of dozens of breath-taking national parks. In Costa Rica, it’s always your call.

osta Rica is a treasure! We can barely

 scratch the surface of all its charms. Nevertheless, we invite you to join the growing ranks of those who have fallen head over heels for its spectacular vistas, uncrowded pristine beaches, perennial spring-like climate, and charming people.

Costa Rica is a small country with an interesting

geography. The bustling capitol city of San José is

situated in the lush Central Valley. Some sights date back hundreds of years, while other parts of the city are as modern as any on earth. High-rise apartments, state-of-the-art hospitals, and chic malls dot the landscape. Around the country, it’s Mother Nature’s handiwork that captures your attention. Fall into the scenic embrace of deep-green jungle canopies, red-hot landslides down an active volcano, soothing ocean surf on a near-empty beach, gently rolling hills in a secluded valley, a slow-moving river on its way to the sea, or steep mountain cliffs. The country is gorgeous!

business-oriented nation. This country has a long history of peaceful relationships with its neighbors. There is no standing army in Costa Rica. Costa Ricans are justifiably proud of their deep-rooted democratic traditions providing for a peaceful, stable, and orderly transition of governments. The progressive government attracts and rewards enterprise and investment. In short, Costa Ricans share many of the same political and economic ideals with the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe.

you are at ease with a delightful people, and when you find life is easy for the taking, you will find that you are living “Pura Vida”.
