Demonstrating an environmental sensitivity unparalleled elsewhere, Costa Ricans have set aside one quarter of their land as protected areas and national parks. Eco-tourists are rewarded with botanical and animal marvels found nowhere else on Earth. Although Costa Rica is best known as an invaluable refuge for nature, this small nation is also a haven of peace.

Costa Rica is the link in a chain of small nations that together comprise Central America. Along with the Caribbean and the Pacific, the country's borders are defined by Nicaragua to the North and Panama to the South. Located at the nexus of two continents and two oceans, this confluence of land and water makes the region one of mother-nature's great bottlenecks. Here, geography constricts a breathtaking amount of plant and animal life within a modest 19,563 square miles (50,900 sq. km), an area comparable in size to Denmark or West Virginia. Within this diminutive nation is found an astonishing five percent of the world's biodiversity, including more than 800 species of ferns, 1,000 of orchids, 2,000 kinds of trees, and 200 species of mammals.

Real Estate in Costa Rica
Costa Rica ranks fourth place in the world as an ideal environment for foreign investment.  This is, in part because there are very few restrictions on foreigners owning land in Costa Rica.  In fact, foreigners enjoy the same rights as Costa Ricans and thus do not require any special provision to purchase property or own real estate in Costa Rica. On a further interesting note, not even residence or presence in the country is required for land ownership.
 
Even more significant in investing in Costa Rica; a foreign investor has solid assurance  of his real estate purchase as Costa Rica has in place a safe system of title registration to protect buyers when purchasing real estate in Costa Rica.. This property registry is located in the Registro de la Propiedad, where both title and survey documents for every property are recorded. Any change in the status of a title or any claim that might affect a property must be noted on the title registry page.  Legal title and land status of a property is assured.

Both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines of Costa Rica have an abundance of pristine and breath taking beaches making owning of your own personal real estate a vista delight..  Between the coasts, the interior of the country is shaped by four mountain ranges, which run from North to South with the capital, San Jose, resting roughly in the nation's center and settled within a highland valley. Cascading down to the Caribbean from the central mountains are Costa Rica's many great rivers, including the Reventazon. The Pacific side is marked by two broad peninsulas that hook out into the Pacific to provide even more white sandy beaches with awe inspiring ocean views and world renown surfing locations.  The most northerly, the Nicoya Peninsula is host to what is commonly referred to as the Gold Coast, a 37 mile strip of coast line with numerous developments and fine Hotel accommodations.

Costa Rica's climate is renowned as an atmospheric treat with mild subtropical conditions year-round.. Temperature varies mainly according to elevation:  the higher the cooler.  Costa Rica's rain falls mainly on the Caribbean coast, giving the Pacific a much more arid climate.  

With a nation of such beauty and diversity- What more reasons could one want to buy real estate in the beautiful country of Costa Rica.
