The best properties all over Costa Rica, the Switzerland of Central América...

Costa Rica literally means ' RICH COAST '. That is the observation of Christopher Columbus in 1502 when he first set eyes on this exotic paradise looking for gold. It was quickly discovered that there was little gold to be found, but the natural beauty of Costa Rica has been attracting settlers ever since the first colonization.

Costa Rica was settled by those relatively few Spanish immigrants who valued independence and beauty more than natural riches. It developed into a country of independent family farmers. Even today the farmer is the backbone of this nation. Costa Rica is and has been the most stable, democratic country in Latin America . It houses no army and is a nation of peace and tranquility.

Costa Rica boasts a literacy rate of nearly 90%, one of the highest in the world for its size. For 55 years now Costa Ricans have lived under a constitution that prohibits the establishment of an army, and assures free elections every four years to its people. There is over 90% voter turnout! Its free health care program is recognized as the most effective in Latin America , and the country has the lowest infant mortality rate in the world. Whether you are looking to retire here or to start a business, Costa Rica is filled with opportunities.
