Bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica's famous national expression is "pura vida", meaning a hassle-free life. This can easily be achieved by spending time on Costa Rica's amazing coasts with its crystal clear waters.

The country, its seemingly infinite, pristine and varied vistas, along with its welcoming inhabitants, is rapidly catching on as a captivating tourist spot.

San Jose is the capital located 3900 feet over the sea level and its temperatures vary between 70ºF and 78ºF. In the wet season from May to October, the rain is mixed with the fresh winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.

Costa Rica is a Central American success story: since the late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred its democratic development. Although still a largely agricultural country, it has expanded its economy to include strong technology and tourism sectors. The standard of living is relatively high.
