Costa Rica real estate Jaco Beach hotel resort

Costa Rica is internationally known as a peaceful country, and is one of the popular destinations in the Americas.  Social stability, booming economy, ideal climate and government incentives are all hallmarks of this picturesque and friendly country, and have helped to encourage a massive influx of tourists and investors.  These visitors are extremely enthusiastic about the great opportunities available in Costa Rica real estate and business.

Costa Rica is the only country in Central America without an army; several years ago the government abolished military service, opting to spend money saved on educating its people and modernizing its workforce.  As a result of these extraordinary and intelligent policies, there is now an astounding 96% literacy rate in the country.  Thousands of Costa Ricans read, write and speak English, which helps make it an inviting and friendly destination for North American tourists.  Daily life in Costa Rica is relaxed and fun, explaining in part the popularity of Costa Rica real estate.

Micro-climates vary greatly across Costa Rica, and all of them are pleasant.  The dry season occurs from December to April, with much less rain, while the remainder of the year includes rain, typically falling in the afternoons.  Beach areas along the Pacific Coast actually receive very little rain, which is a plus for tourists and other visitors.

Great weather, friendly and peaceful people, and ideal economic and social conditions – there are several factors explaining why people from around the world continue to flock to the country of Costa Rica for vacations and/or to invest in Costa Rica real estate.
