Why do people move to Costa Rica?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Costa Rica, they responded...
"Costa Rica is renowned for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture and relaxed atmosphere, making it an attractive destination for expats. One key draw is the fact that it is an incredibly safe place to live, with one of the lowest crime rates in Latin America. Its strong healthcare system, quality of life and exceptional climate are other great reasons that expats are being attracted to the country. Another bonus is that it is also one of the most affordable countries in Central America, with a low cost of living, good infrastructure and friendly locals. Costa Rica is also well-known for its ecotourism, and a wealth of activities and places to explore, making it an enticing place for expats from all over the world," remarked another expat in Costa Rica.
"Most foreigners who voluntarily move to San Jose, Costa Rica do so for the nice climate, lower cost of living, and friendly people. Some of course move here for work, usually in the multinationals, while a few are running from someone or something (often the law)," said a member in San Jose, Costa Rica.
