Nicoya Peninsula: a Blue Zone
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the five Blue Zones in the world, where longevity is exceptional. The active lifestyle and strong sense of community explain the high concentration of centenarians.
100% renewable energy
About 99% of electricity comes from renewable sources: hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, biomass, and solar.
“Pura Vida” philosophy
More than just an expression, Pura Vida is a philosophy that reflects gratitude, well-being, and connection with nature and people.
Ancestral traditions
For the Bribri culture, cacao has spiritual and ancestral value. It is used in ceremonies related to birth, purification, and connection with the earth.
Birdwatching paradise
With more than 900 registered species, Costa Rica is one of the world’s favorite destinations for birdwatching and nature photography.
A country without an army
Since 1948, Costa Rica abolished its armed forces and allocated those resources to education, health, and environmental protection. This decision deeply marked its identity and development model.
Costa Rica, a unique destination
Costa Rica combines biodiversity, sustainability, well-being, and culture in a small but diverse territory.
