Pura Vida, literally means “Pure Life”, and is a common greeting and ubiquitous motto of Costa Rica. It encapsulates the prevailing ideology of living in peace, in a calm, uncluttered manner appreciating a life surrounded by nature, family and friends.

Even though Costa Rica is a small country, it has a big reputation for being a favorite tourist destination as well as an attractive investment location. This is the jewel of Central America with more natural wonders than most continents. Covering only 0.03% of the surface of the planet, Costa Rica has approximately 6% of the world’s biodiversity.

This vibrant nation is a unique blend of lifestyle and opportunity where you can half your cost of living while doubling your quality of life.

Impressive scenic beauty, an extensive system of protected areas, social and political stability, high educational levels, superior healthcare and efficient infrastructure characterize Costa Rica. All of this offered in a territory of only 51 thousand square kilometers, where two hemispheres and two oceans meet.

Informed travelers are choosing Costa Rica as a perfect location for a first or second home. This peaceful, Spanish-speaking nation is a long-standing democracy. In 1948, it abandoned the necessity for armed forces in favor of funding education and healthcare. As a result, the literacy rate and healthcare services rival those of North American and Europe.

Costa Rica has been identified as one of only 5 countries in the world as a Blue Zone. These are recently discovered geographical pockets with unusually high concentrations of people living exceptionally long, vigorous lives. Blue Zones (so called because a demographer circled the first one on a map using blue ink) are not so much about geography but rather about environmental and lifestyle choices.
