Costa Rica the Best Place of the world

Meet the Switzerland of the Americas

Costa Rica is truly the gem of Central America. The standard of living is high, and land ownership is widespread. Still largely agricultural, its economy also includes strong technology and tourism sectors. Centrally located between the two great oceans, Lake Arenal is part of a broad expanse of modern living set in a lush and verdant tropical paradise that exemplifies all that is great about Costa Rica. For windsurfers Lake Arenal is a paradise indeed, as it has been rated as one of the five best places in the world for windsurfing. The amenities of the area give even non-windsurfers diversions that range from shopping and sunbathing to eco tours through the surrounding rain forest and visits to the Arenal Volcano. Most notably, Costa Rica is a land without winter. There are only two seasons: wet and dry, and both are filled with an abundance of sunshine. You will rarely need air conditioning and never need heat. You don't have to be a resident of Costa Rica to own property or enjoy the same ownership rights as citizens. In Costa Rica, real estate ownership is fully guaranteed by the constitution to all residents including foreigners. Visit our Buying Real Estate Section to find out more. The Arenal Volcano rises 1,633 meters (5,356 feet) above sea level and casts an almost flawless silhouette on the land below it. Arenal Volcano´s last eruption was in 1969 but it is far from dormant, as it often spews ash and smoke which provides a compelling backdrop for photographs and video. Locals and visitors alike often enjoy the show from the luxurious surroundings of a local hot springs resort. There are a variety of resorts, spas and shops that have developed in the area.
