Why Costa Rica? Quick Facts
Quick Facts CURRENCY The colon, Costa Rica’s currency, devalues steadily compared the dollar. LANGUAGE: Spanish, English widely spoken. French, Italian and German are also spoken by a growing number of people. POPULATION: 4.615.518 inhabitants (as of June 2011) SIZE: 51,100km2 (19,652 sq. miles) TIME ZONE U.S. Standard Time (Central America time –6 GMT) LIFE EXPECTANCY: 79.1 years LITERACY RATE: 95% YOUTH LITERACY: 98.4% LABOR FORCE: Total 2,170,000 million PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES COVERAGE: 90.4% of population Why Costa Rica? Because it is a blessed country with beautiful beaches, active volcanoes and exuberant wildlife… or could it may be for its peaceful tradition and the genuine hospitality of its people?... Anyway…let´s find out… CLOSE AND PREFERRED… Whether coming from the United States, Canada or Europe, flying to Costa Rica has never been easier! Visitors can reach here in only 2.5 hours from Miami and five hours from Toronto. Costa Rica’s two international airports serve 15 foreign airlines and an estimated 378 flights per week at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and 53 at the Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR). During the past two years, Costa Rica has been selected more frequently by numerous tourism industry leaders and by recognized international publications as the best destination for adventure, sports and honeymoons. OUTSTANDING VALUE AND SELECTION…Costa Rica boasts an excellent selection of services and infrastructure; from 5 star resorts to unique boutique hotels, creative and experienced DMC’s, the latest in deluxe transportation, multilingual tour guides, venues for theme events and fine dining. All this is available in a tropical setting for an outstanding value, because the Costa Rican economy is not wholly dependent upon tourism. Costa Rica grows and produces its own vegetables, fruits and meats, avoiding expensive imports and helping to reduce the expenses of your program. Many options… As a destination, Costa Rica offers a wide range of activities, including natural experiences like walks through the national parks, volcanoes and reserves; floating in the rapids of a river, canoeing, or enjoying the therapeutic effects of hot springs. Other options of interest include learning about the farming, milling and preparation of coffee, visiting gardens to enjoy an amazing variety of butterflies, playing golf on a modern, firstclass course, or simply daring to soak up the energizing effects of the tropical sun. After a busy or a restful day, you can finish it off with a delicious dinner under the stars to the rhythms of calypso. 1 Guanacaste (North Pacific) Sunny and breezy for most of the year, it is a land of volcanic peaks, wooded valleys, beautiful waterfalls and hot springs, and national parks and wildlife refuges rich in flora and fauna, where you can enjoy beaches, bird watching, horseback riding and admire the Guanacaste and Tilarán mountain ranges. Whether you visit during the dry or the rainy season, both provide great advantages. Guanacaste is a land of culture and folklore, cattle ranches, dark-skinned local cowboys, and picturesque towns. The Gulf of Papagayo, another well-known region, comprises the area between Ocotal Beach and the Papagayo Peninsula. Here you will find the Four Seasons Resort and the upbeat towns of Coco Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Panama Beach, as well as the Hilton Papagayo hotel. The surroundings of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park combine tropical dry forest, waterfalls and volcanic activity. The area is well known by bubbling mud pots, little geysers, hot springs and a whole host of wildlife. From November to April, the province gets almost no rain and the sun hits hard, however, cool winds from the north lower the temperatures pleasantly along the coast from December to February. From May to October, the warm weather remains, but accompanied by occasional rain, usually in the afternoon. Dry season in Guanacaste is longer than elsewhere in Costa Rica.
