Property Investor information for: Costa Rica
Costa Rica is sometimes referred to as Central America's jewel. A small, mountainous country, It is bordered by Nicaragua on the north, the Caribbean Sea and Panama on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the south and west.
A chain of rugged mountains stretches across central Costa Rica from northwest to southeast. A few of the highest peaks in this chain are active volcanoes and there are widespread tropical forests on the country's coastal lowlands.
Costa Rica is a Central American success story where the rule of law and democracy have become the status quo over the 19 th century. Although still a largely agricultural country, it has achieved a relatively high standard of living. Land ownership is widespread and tourism (especially ecotourism) is a rapidly expanding industry.
Investment opportunities exist throughout the country. The capital San Jose is a vibrant city and both the Pacific and Caribbean coastal resorts offer all the typical tropical delights. Opportunities also exist in the Central Valley areas such as La Garita. North American investors have been aware of Costa Rica's appeal for many years and so prices are not as low as countries such as Belize. However, the country's tropical climate and environment and its stable political and economic situation mean that Costa Rica is an interesting opportunity.
