Costa Rica is a small country yet it makes a powerful and lasting impression. It is a world-famous eco-tourism destination with incredible terrain and laid back lifestyle. The climate and the people are warm and welcoming. Real estate opportunities are plentiful.  It’s no surprise that it is a top choice for retirement.  Costa Rica has one of the only 5 “Blue Zones” in the world – places where people live longer, healthier and are happier than anywhere else on Earth!

The longest standing democracy in Central America, the country abolished its armed forces in 1949 and has a low crime rate. The cost of living is affordable compared to the United States, and modern amenities include high speed internet, cable, satellite TV and excellent public transportation. The medical system is world-class, and universal medical care means life expectancy is high – over 77 years. Dog or cat-lover? It’s simple to bring pets to Costa Rica, and there’s no quarantine period required.
