Costa Rica

Named one of the happiest countries on earth, Costa Rica's year-round tropical climate and high quality of life attracts tourists and expats from all over the world. Costa Rica's biodiverse ecosystem and varied terrain offer everything from high-adrenaline eco-adventures to silent meditative retreats. In the Northern Region, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, abundant with flora and foliage, offers the opportunity to ride a peaceful tram above a canopy of green upward, and change gears with a misty zipline adventure down. Luxury properties are found in many areas but the most popular area to live large is in the Papagyo Peninsula of the North Pacific region. Extravagant resorts and splendid homes line the area's diverse beaches. For a more secluded feel, the South Pacific region offers sections of pristine waters and unspoiled, rugged beaches.
