There are so many reasons why people buy land here in Costa Rica: for the sun, the surf, the affordability, the people. Some leave because they’re escaping a certain lifestyle and others come trying to incorporate their tastes into a foreign setting. Whatever their reasons for coming, everyone has one idea in their mind of Costa Rica: Paradise.

And no place deserves the title of Paradise more than Costa Rica. While it has only 0.1% of the world's landmass, it contains 5% of the world's biodiversity. About 25% of the country’s landscape is protected, making it the most well-sustained in the world. For nature lovers, there is no equal. Monkeys, sloths, anteaters, jaguars, butterflies, parrots, and of course the quetzal—the breath-taking and elusive national bird.

Costa Rica also boasts the most peaceful people in the Americas. It has not had a standing army since 1948, and the peaceful nature of the Ticos (Costa Ricans) does not lend itself to violence. It’s no surprised that Costa Rica ranks #1 in the Life Satisfaction Index for Latin America.

To talk about the food seems unnecessary, but if fresh organic produce interests you, Costa Rica is heaven. The most succulent mangos in the world can be picked from trees as you walk down the street. Papayas, bananas, cantaloupe, berries, guavas, passion fruit, coconuts, tamarind, and all the avocados you could imagine.

So, does Costa Rica sound like a paradise yet? Are you ready to own your own piece of paradise? Then read the details on these beautiful properties available today.
