Costa Rica Fun Facts
Costa Rica is known as one of the happiest countries in the world, and you’ll feel it as soon as you arrive. Life here is guided by “Pura Vida,” a way of living rooted in joy, gratitude, simplicity, and being present. From ocean sunsets and rainforest sounds to slow mornings with coffee, there’s a peaceful, feel-good energy everywhere.
Spanish is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, so getting around is easy. The local currency is the Costa Rican Colón, though U.S. dollars and cards are widely accepted.
Food is a delicious part of the culture. You’ll often see gallo pinto for breakfast—a comforting mix of rice and beans with eggs and plantains. And the coffee is famous: rich, smooth, and grown in volcanic soil. Above all, it’s the warmth and hospitality of the people that make Costa Rica truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to celebrate together in this magical place 💛🌿✨
For all the days along the way
