"The Best Weather In The World"
White sand beaches, tropical jungle, lush cloud forests, temperate
valleys, and modern downtowns--Costa Rica has it all. And over 1/3 of
the country is permanently protected in national parks, beaches, and
forests.
Costa Rica offers everything from cool to hot climates, with the
Central Valley region (including Cartago) consistently in the mid 70s.
If you want to go somewhere a little warmer or cooler, all you need to
do is go a few kilometers either up or downhill. It's no wonder that
National Geographic magazine says the country "has the best weather in
the world."
- "Pura Vida"
The national phrase means "pure life," or more generally speaking life
free from stress and fighting. Costa Rica is Latin America's longest
running democracy, and was the first country in the world to abolish
it's military, investing instead in a quality national health system
that can cheaply accommodate foreign residents.
Costa Rican people are famous for their relaxed, friendly demeanor, and
visitors from the US will find it easy to make friends both within the
large expatriate community and with Costa Ricans from all social
backgrounds and regions.
- A Thriving Ex pat Community
Over 10,000 Americans and Canadians live in Costa Rica, in addition to
smaller numbers of Europeans and Asians. Expatriates are concentrated
mostly in wealthier suburbs of the capital and around beach towns.
Due to the stable and diverse nature of this community, many helpful
institutions have sprung up to meet ex pats needs:
- A Great Investment
 The price of real estate in
Costa Rica is predicted to keep rising throughout the next decade. The
huge number of retiring baby boomers who want to find cheap and exotic
retirement destinations will most likely push the value of quality
Costa Rican properties to previously unimaginable heights.
Not all properties will benefit from this boom, however. Only quality
properties in safe and "foreigner-friendly" neighborhoods are set to
truly explode. Visit... for information on just such a community,
conveniently located in tranquil Cartago, close to the metropolitan
area but away from it's undesirable parts.
