  Why Invest in Costa Rica? 

.

Costa Rica truly is one of the world's most beautiful countries.  The amazing biodiversity is one of the reasons that Costa Rica has become one of the top eco-tourist destinations.  The second reason is a combination of the infrastructure, the friendliness of the Costa Rican people and the positive influence of the country's lengthy history of political, social and economic stability.

Few people realize that Costa Rica is the oldest democracy in the Western Hemisphere.  They abolished their armed forces in 1949.  Costa Rica has the second highest literacy rate per capita in the world.  It has the highest percentage of landmass in protected parks or reserves than any other country in the world.  

The Costa Rican Constitution guarantees the rights of foreigners to own land in Costa Rica.  Properties are titled and registered in the National Registry.  U.S. Title companies will offer title guarantee.  Land transactions are in U.S. dollars.  There are no taxes on capital gains in Costa Rica.  Ownership of land becomes an offshore investment.

There are many other factors that contribute to the reasons why many foreigners are now deciding to purchase property and/or retire in Costa Rica.
