One of the most beautiful countries and the happiest place on the planet is Costa Rica. The Caribbean nation of Costa Rica is known for its exotic natural beauty, vibrant flora, and unique fauna that is not found anywhere in the world.

As a country that is all about the preservation of its natural assets, some people might think that Costa Rica may not be the best place to invest in real estate. However, the truth is far from that.
