About Costa Rica

Costa Rica, which translates to the Rich Coast, provides much of the world's bananas, coffee, and pineapples. With only 0.1% of the world's landmass, it still contains about 1/12 of the world's bio diversity. It is very common to run into any one of the four species of monkey found in Costa Rica. About 25% of the land area is protected by national parks.

Coast Rica is a peaceful democracy and the first country in the world to abolish its army. It boasts a literacy rate of 96%, one of the highest in the world. Home to the friendly Ticos, a common phrase among locals is Pura Vida or the Pure Life. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid back, so be sure to leave your watch at home.

Our villas are located in El Ocotal of the Guanacaste Province, which occupies the NW corner of Costa Rica. Guanacaste offers on of the drier winter seasons and has some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica.
