Costa Rica: an oasis of tranquility
Costa Rica is a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Unlike its neighboring Central American countries, Panama and Nicaragua, Costa Rica has always been an oasis of tranquility. This country is a stable democracy and is one of the few countries in the world without an army. The economic situation here is not bad either: Costa Rica is relatively prosperous and has a higher standard of living than other Central American countries.
