On September, 18 1502, Christopher Columbus anchored offshore near present day Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. A lot has changed since then. Costa Rica is probably the #1 visited tourist country in Central America.
Why?
Because Costa Rica goes out of the way to protect its natural beauty and resources. Both present and future generations (meaning you) can experience portions of a natural environment similar to what Columbus saw hundreds of years ago.
Costa Rica has become something of a South American “Mecca” for tourists. Which might explain why Hollywood stars such as Bran Pitt and Angelina Jolie love spending time there.
A few real estate investors refer to it as “the Switzerland of Central America” because of its political stability and native beauty. The high standard of living enjoyed by many who retire here from different parts of the world — called “expats” a.k.a. “expatriates”– is very attractive too.
