There is a reason why Costa Rica is considered one of the most peaceful countries in the world. It could be the people - the culture definitely has a happy, non-confrontational feel about it, and the ticos are fun loving and family oriented. Maybe the food has something to do with it, the freshness of the fruits and vegetables, the simplicity of the cuisine, may contribute to their laid back attitude. The profusion of tropical birds, the beaches, the diversity of the terrain, maybe it is all of these things.
Most of the beaches in Costa Rica are alive with the most amazing coral reefs, that lend an illuminating quality to the ocean floor. Most of these reefs, along with some of the most beautiful shells in the world are what contribute to the variety of different colors of sand. For such a small country there are quite a few different colors of sandy beaches, all of which allow the visitor to enjoy their favorite location, which ever that may be.
Mangroves are another way of enjoying an expedition via a waterway. Occasionally, you can visit a large mangrove swamp and travel for miles, seeing birds and animals along the shore. Most hotels are located along the beaches or invite their guests to take a boat ride through a series of mangrove canals, include lots of activities that their guests can participate in, like turtle watching, hiking, snorkeling, and many other water activities.
The jungle in Costa Rica is also becoming a family vacation must see, and a favorite destination for a tropical wedding or honeymoon!
There are many hotels and tour operators that offer all inclusive vacation packages that include all of your transportation to and from your destination, all food, drinks, activities and tours, plus, of course, the hotel room for the entire length of your stay. The itineraries include day to day activities, planned to make sure you experience the best destinations that are available for visiting in the rainforest, or the beaches of Guanacaste. There are companies that offer luxury hotel packages with limousine and private air charters for those that wish to vacation in style.
Taking a canopy tour, watching turtles nest, climbing up a waterfall, navigating the river currents, can all be part of your vacation. If you are interested in a more tame way to spend your time, you can always visit a coffee plantation, or watch the banana plantation workers, harvest and clean bananas, or watch how quality cigars are rolled. Just experiencing the day to day life of the people who live in the outskirts of this beautiful country can be an insight into the culture of Costa Rica.
Costa Rica offers an experience in adventure for all who make the journey to explore new horizons on their vacation. But, some people are not satisfied with just a short time holiday - they become enchanted with the country, its friendly people and favorable climate. For those individuals, they sometimes make a decision to move, live, work and / or retire here. The Association of Residents of Costa Rica has for over twenty years been counseling individuals and families on immigration, relocation, retirement, how to ship household goods and other services, like insurance.

Costa Rica is also becoming a very popular place for medical tourism, with a history of fine, internationally trained doctors. More recently, people are coming here to receive HGH, testosterone and facial filler injections-New York- at modern medical clinics staffed with U.S. trained doctors. The cost savings is considerable, and the treatment equal to what you would expect in the United States. For a place to stay near San Jose - a medical / dental recovery rental house, Casa Orleans is exactly what you would need.
