Virtual SA: Costa Rica (Overview)

 

And, at last, we are away from revolutionaries, rapists and massive crime.

No more guerrillas, gangs and guns.

Welcome to Costa Rica (translates to The Rich Coast)!

And it is...playground for the rich...safe haven for tourists.

Next week we will discover the Waterfall Gardens of LaPaz and more.

Beautiful beaches.

Jungles.

Volcanoes.

Cuisine.

Ecotourism at its best!

Home to about 5 million people. 

Once colonized by the Spanish.

Tropical...either very wet or very dry.

The most visited country is Central America...and the originator of eco-tourism.

Pacifist Country...no standing military.

Mostly Catholic and the language is Spanish...although English is widely used here.

Food has influences from Spanish, Indian and African...but best known dish is Tamales!
