Information about Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a small country with a long history of democracy that has served as a model to the world time and again. In 1948, José "Pepe" Figueres Ferrer led a revolution that overthrew the military dictatorship that ruled the country at the time. Moreover, both the literacy rate and the education system in Costa Rica are among the highest in Latin America and the world.

Despite its small size, Costa Rica is home to an enormous diversity of ecosystems such as rainforests, dry forests, cloud forests, mangroves and much more. This is due to its proximity to two oceans and its different altitudes, ranging from sea level to mountains. The country has contributed greatly to conservation efforts worldwide and is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including over 500,000 species of insects, 365 species of amphibians, 398 species of birds and 1,400 species of butterflies.

In terms of the economy, Costa Rica is lauded as one of the few countries in Latin America that have not only escaped the 'lost decade', but has also managed to become the main example for other nations to follow its lead. The country's economy is now driven by exports, which account for almost half of its gross domestic product (GDP). These include strong international trade relations with the United States and agricultural products such as bananas and coffee.
