Costa Rica is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east. Historically, Costa Rica has enjoyed greater peace and political stability compared to other Latin American countries. Pharmaceuticals, financial outsourcing, software development, and ecotourism have become the prime industries in Costa Rica's economy. The literacy rate in Costa Rica is one of the highest in the world. Tourism now earns more foreign exchange than the combined exports of the country's three main cash crops: bananas, pineapples and coffee.

Costa Rica was a pioneer in eco-tourism and possesses the greatest density of species in the world - about 5% of the world's biodiversity and is recognized as having the largest percentage of protected areas in the world. Costa Rica is a centre of biological diversity for reptiles and amphibians, including the world's fastest running lizard, the spiny-tailed iguana.

Costa Rica has become a popular destination for medical tourism. It is particularly attractive to American tourists because of its proximity and short flight, the quality of medical services, and lower medical costs.

Costa Rica’s 16th century Spanish culture is reflected in everyday life and culture, with the Spanish language and the Catholic religion as primary influences. "Pura Vida" is a phrase used to say hello. It means pure life, or good life, a reflection on their way of living.
