To end a perfect day, what is better than laying on the beach or jumping from a waterfall?

2. Healthcare is affordable for everyone

Healthcare is very important here in Costa Rica. A lot of hospitals in the country offer a world-class care including procedures like dental work, surgeries and more. Costa Rican citizens receive a free healthcare and foreign residents can pay a low tax fee to join the national healthcare program which has a really high quality. That’s a really good reason to move to Costa Rica!

3. A good climate all year round

Here in Costa Rica, the sun shines every day even during the rainy season. Temperature is on both coasts between 70s and 80s on average and the ocean always warm.

4. Its proximity to North America

The country has two major airports, one in the capital of San Jose and one in the region of Guanacaste in Liberia. Both of these airports offer national and international flights, and also direct flights to major cities in the US at a very reasonable price, which make it easy to stay close to family or have some visitors!

5. A supportive expats community

Another good reason to choose Costa Rica to move in is because of it’s supportive expats community. Costa Rica has always been popular among expats for years.

The economy is also experiencing a pretty good growth thanks to foreign investments such as tourism which can be a good plus for those looking to invest in the country.

8. Kind and friendly locals

Ticos (local costa Ricans) are some of the most hospitable and peace-oriented people. They love talking to tourist or residents about their country that they love and will always warmly welcome you. They also are very educated and know a lot about plant medicine, wildlife and ecological environment aspect. If you wish to live in a small coastal-town, you will become part of their friends or even part of their families.

10. The Pura Vida lifestyle

There are two words that you will hear every day if you decide to live in Costa Rica: PURA VIDA.
