Costa Ricans are peaceful people
This country has no standing military, and has smartly worked out how to generate almost all of its power through green energy.
Equality is massive here, with women keeping their maiden names after marriage, and the harmony of humanity and nature is quietly emphasised across the country.
This tiny nation of just over four million people is always proud to highlight how 5% of the entire world’s biodiversity calls Costa Rica home – from turtles and monkeys to spiders and birds. Animal lovers are in for an utter treat here.
