Welcome
to Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a peaceful democracy with
no army and very little crime is often referred to as
the “Switzerland
of Central America”. The country boasts more school teachers
than police and its literacy rate, is at 93 percent, one of the
highest in the world. Costa Ricans are very happy, laid-back souls--they
have never been at war and they have never been hungry. They genuinely
like Americans and will gladly trade two or three words of English
for two or three words of Spanish.
For sun worshippers, the weather is especially
spectacular. Between December and late May, there is very little
or no rain. Even June
through November, the constant sunshine is only interrupted by occasional
refreshing late afternoon showers.
The weather is always warm (80
degrees plus)
on the northwest Pacific coast where the villas are located. In
San Jose and the Central highlands, temperatures are
much cooler with high around 78 degrees and lows in the 60's.
The
amazing biological diversity that exists in Costa Rica, within
such a small geographical area
(about the size of West Virginia), is one of the largest in the
world. The
flora and fauna are not only precious, but also spectacular. Costa
Rica has over 237 species
of
mammals,
more varieties of butterflies than the entire continent
of Africa, and more than 150 species of reptiles and
amphibians. There are also more than 1,800 species of orchids native
to the
country and more than 850 species of birds (more than all the species
in the entire North American continent).
A quaint Costa Rican trait is that on any
given day, you will see a farmer and his ox cart walking alongside
the street--a true sign
that Westernization has not invaded this untouched beauty.
