Situated between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, the lush paradise of Costa Rica has been culturally influenced by indigenous groups, the Spanish conquistadores and African workers who came to the region during the 17th and 18th centuries. The immigration of Spaniards into the country has marked everyday life and culture from the 16 century until today, with the Spanish language and the Catholicism as primary influences. Costa Rican cuisine is a blend of Native American, Spanish, African and many other cuisine origins. Costa Rico also contains one of the most educated and socially conscious populations throughout Latin America.

With a $2.2 billion per year tourism industry, Costa Rica is the most visited nation in the Central American region, with two million foreign visitors in 2008, bringing in more money for the country in international trade than bananas and coffee combined. Ecotourism draws many tourists to visit the extensive national parks system and protected areas around the country, and around 25% of the country’s land area is in protected national parks and other areas, the largest percentage of protected areas in the world. Costa Rica was a pioneer in this type of tourism, and the country is recognized as one of the few with true ecotourism. Costa Rica is home to a rich variety of plants and animal containing 5% of the world’s biodiversity despite containing only 0.25% of the world’s landmass.
