Today in this post I called: what's wrong with it Costa Rica that we don't? I analyze why this country is a true tourist power worth imitating.

Costa Rica It is a country that has known how to sell itself in the world as a must-see place to visit., action that surely many of our countries dream of achieving. And they weren't wrong to do it, since they have many factors that make it special and unique among Latin American countries.

Maybe there are not many scenic differences: landscapes are very similar.

Perhaps there are not many differences in their flora and fauna: we share a lot in animals and plants, in fact it's like being at home.

Maybe there are not many geographical differences: everything looks a lot alike, only the volcanoes with snow are missing (speaking of Ecuador).

Perhaps there are not many gastronomic differences: the food is very similar, We even share plates and they don't have a very characteristic typical food like many of our countries do. (except for the rich gallo pinto).

But there are great differentiators that return to Costa Rica the tourist power that is well deserved and that has succeeded in positioning a brand that generates that its 5 million inhabitants are visited annually by more 3 million tourists (2019).

Yes, you read it right, Costa Rica has half of its population in tourists, which stimulates the economy in an incredible way, But this is not all.

This country has worked hard to be a benchmark and safe place to visit for foreigners, having a true culture of service that is felt from the moment one lands at the Juan Santamaría Airport that serves the city of San José.

We talk about how we look alike, but what makes them different?

its avenues, streets and highways are not flashy or large with many lanes, but they are well signposted, painted and maintained. potholes? I didn't see one.

A small country allows people to travel and learn more in less time and thanks to its domestic connectivity on planes such as Cessna Caravan they make it very attractive and that we have not talked about the international flights that they have despite having a small population with 44 average daily frequencies to destinations as far away as Zurich.

Product quality, so cost more, it shows in every detail from the guide service, even the way they serve you a plate of food.

Security is an important topic and one that is talked about so much, but in Costa Rica I felt very calm, similar to what it felt like in Chile (I'm not going 4 years) and that in few of our countries we can live it.

Cleanliness and the environment is a highly relevant issue and despite the fact that the Ticos accept that they are in diapers, They have a great advantage in caring for the environment and the general awareness that its inhabitants have to take care of their country., I envy them.

Have I already talked about your people? kindness, kindness and their treatment towards foreigners and even each other, It makes you feel good, Calm down and you know that they are not going to try to trick you.

Obviously not everything is perfect and it is not a country like Japan at the level of order and respect for the rules, in the end it has the Latin American spirit, but with many high notes that the rest of the region possibly lacks.

Without a doubt a great little country (how i baptized it) that leaves us many learnings and examples of how to do things well in terms of sightseeing and all related services, but I wonder why we don't imitate and improve what is done in Costa Rica?

Have you ever visited this country? Tell me if you agree with my assessments.

Pure Life!
