Ticos and Ticas, as Costa Ricans are commonly known, are a fairly mixed bunch. Though the majority
of the country´s 3.3 million inhabitants are the descendants of Spanish immigrants, many families originated from other parts
of Europe, Asia, Africa and, of course, Central America.
You may be surprised by the number of fair-skinned single
Costa Rica women you´ll see in the country, especially in the Central Valley. In the lowlands, more people are mestizo
-that is mixture of European and Indigenous blood- whereas the majority along the Caribbean coast are of African lineage,
and much of the Talamanca Mountain Range is inhabited by full-blooded Indians of various tribes.

In addition, Costa Rica is characterized by impressive scenic beauty, a consolidated system of protected
areas, social and political stability, high educational levels, and efficient infrastructure and services. All of this offered
in a territory of only 51 thousand square kilometers, surrounded by both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The country's
strategic position, in the heart of the western hemisphere, the Government's positive attitude towards foreign investment,
its infrastructure, access to international markets, and the quality and cost of labor, make Costa Rica an ideal place to
establish commercial operations and retire.
