With
its wonderful
sceneries, vibrant culture, and friendly locals, Costa Rica is
definitely one of the best places to be in the Caribbean. It is
currently the home of some 40,000 US citizens, and is frequently
ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. True to its
traditional greeting, “Pura Vida” or “Good life!”, the first
thing that visitors would notice about Costa Rica is its beautiful
landscape: trees, beaches, and mountains in all their natural
splendor.
However,
there are other reasons why some people would leave their home
countries and spend the rest of their days here. While the low cost
of living in the country is remarkable in itself, Costa Rica’s
healthcare system is topnotch. Many drugs and medicines are readily
obtainable without prescription, and the national healthcare and
social security system (CCSS) ensures that everybody would have equal
access to major public hospitals and clinics in the country.
The
crime rate is also quite low, particularly when compared against
those in other Central American and Caribbean countries. While the
country hasn’t had a standing military force since 1949, Costa Rica
employs an efficient and well-funded police force that protect
tourists and locals alike from petty thievery and break-ins.
