COSTA RICA La Pura Vida

Living “La Pura Vida” (the pure life) is one reason Costa Rica has become one of the most popular places in the world for North American retirees and expats to relocate. This beautiful country lures people to pack their belongings and reinvent their lives in Costa Rica.

Compared to many other countries in Central America, Costa Rica enjoys far more political and economic stability and has a moderate growth rate. It’s a democratic country that doesn’t seem likely to change. In addition, it has a relatively low cost of living to make it even more convenient, allowing even those with moderate incomes to live in relative comfort. In recent years, Costa Rica has also become the hub of a thriving technology sector.

It is a vast country of rolling mountains, open plains, and lush river valleys. Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has no military, which has allowed military budgets to be diverted to the growth priorities of education, the environment, tourism, and healthcare. Costa Rica has a stable economy and currency, allowing residents to plan their costs and maintain their budgets safely.
