here you can fall in love with nature again ! ! !
There are few countries in the world that can top Costa Rica in terms of natural beauty, friendly people, year round spring-like weather in the mountains, the sunny beaches, political stability and eco-preservation.
By selling industrialized countries "carbon bonds" in exchange for reforestation, the country's goal is to be carbon-neutral by 2021.
Already 1,154,945 hectares, representing 30% of the national territory, is protected area, which means that Costa Rica has a larger percentage of its total area set aside in parks and preserves than any other country on Earth.
The protection of Costa Rica's natural resources has implications beyond its borders because they encompass an incredible biodiversity, including numerous species on the verge of extinction. All of this is the reason the country has become one of the most popular destinations for visiting ecologists, biologists and tourists.
Today Costa Rica has the largest percentage of middle class and the most equitable distribution of wealth in Central America. In sharp contrast with the history of most of the other nations in the region, democracy has been the norm for the last fifty years and not the exception.
The country seems to be blessed because most of the time it escapes destruction of hurricanes.
A very low incidence of violent crime (no society is crime free), a low cost socialized health care system, inexpensive housing, a wealth of every imaginable activity to stay busy and happy, exciting business opportunities for enterprising foreigners, all help to contribute to the country's excellent reputation as a place to live. Moreover, most people can live on less than $1,000 monthly. Some live for less and some for more depending on their lifestyles.
When you take into account all of these factors and such intangibles as a more peaceful and laid back way of life - no price is too high to pay for living in a unique tropical paradise like Costa Rica.
