The
Republic of Costa Rica lies in Central America, nestled right between
neighboring Nicaragua and Panama. The notable thing about this small
country is that the nation abolished its army around 1949, and it has
consistently ranked highly on yearly graphs of the Human Development
Index (a general measurement of a population's quality of life) among
other countries of the world. Simply put, it's nothing like North
America.
Aside
from having a peace-loving and happy populace, Costa Rica is perhaps
best known for its tourist destinations. Many come to the country for
its beaches, but the shores and its fishes aren't the only
attractions to be found in this coastal country. The various national
parks littered around Costa Rica take pride in their high
biodiversity, hosting exotic flora and fauna that would be rare
sights anywhere else.
The
national reserves aside, Costa Rica offers a wide variety of exciting
and extreme activities for visiting tourists. Stuff like bungee
jumping, canopy walking, surfing, snorkeling, and even visiting an
active volcano are available for travelers who want a little
adventure. Costa Rica may not be anything like North America, but
with so many unique and wonderful things to see and do, perhaps it's
better that way.
