Is Costa Rica an English speaking country? Where is Costa Rica’s capital? What is the tourism in Costa Rica like? What does Costa Rica look like on the map? What is the best time of the year to travel to Costa Rica? Is it dangerous to visit Costa Rica? Where is Costa Rica?
At DB, we don’t like to categorize countries and people but this small nation is like Switzerland in Europe! They’re annoyingly neutral and don’t even have an army because they’re everybody’s friend like that beautiful girl at school, remember her? The one that everyone likes except you! (I’m sure there’s a country out there that’s jealous of Costa Rica!).
Let’s see what Costa Rica has to offer!

Recent history of Costa Rica
Costa Rica was colonized by Spain and without fighting for it, they became independent in 1821!
After independence the political groups couldn’t agree with each other, so they started Costa Erica’s last war in 1823 and pepper to that, they started building a politically stable country that stood neutral in the world’s conflicts and never needed an Army ever since!
Instead of having an army, they invested in education and health, and now, costs Rica is one of the best countries in health care as well as education. Costs Ricans are one of the most educated countries in Latin America, isn’t that cool?
People in Costa Rica
Mestizos make the majority of the population and most of them look white so, we are talking about a white Latin country that is unique in the Spanish world (Except for Spain).
People are very friendly and out of every 4 Costa Rican, 1 can speak English fluently which is unique in the Latin world again!
What to do in Costa Rica
What do they say? When in Costa Rica, do what Costa Ricans do! They usually chill, dance, and enjoy their lives!

Thanks for this article. When I was in college I enjoyed visiting Costa Rica. We visited Puerto Limon on the east coast. That is where English speaking Africans from Jamaica settled in the late 1800s. 3% of Costa Rica’s population is Black. Their community has the advantage of being bilingual in Spanish and English.
That’s really interesting to know. I’ll visit it there next time!
Thank you for your comment!
My Dad wanted to get a house in Costa Rica, but it never happened. He was always talking about it and how beautiful it is. It looks super exotic to me, but in a good way! I knew about the rain forests and beautiful beaches, but I didn’t know about the National Theater. That looks amazing too.
I’d say your father is a very wise man. I have the same dream about buying a house in Costa Rica!
It is an amazing country indeed!
