Why Visit Costa Rica?
 Costa
Rica is a jewel of a nation both environmentally and socially. It
has the highest standard of living in Central America, and the greatest
degree of economic and social advancement. It also has one of the
highest literacy rates in the world. During the last 50 years, money
that would have gone into the military (Costa Rica has chosen not
to have an army) has been spent on education.
A special gift Costa Rica gives to the world is a system of national
parks, biological reserves, Indian reserves, and wildlife refuges.
More than 25 percent of the nation's land is dedicated to helping
preserve the earth's biodiversity. You will have a firsthand experience
of this gift through the eco-adventure tours in the area. Inquire
about any of these tours upon arrival or upon reserving your stay
with us.
