Situated in the Central American Isthmus, Costa Rica is a land rich in natural beauty – tropical rainforest, volcanoes, and lakes. It shares borders with Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Despite its status as one of the most stable, prosperous, and progressive nations in Latin America – and one of the most eco-friendly in the world – Costa Rica struggles beneath a threatened economy and social unrest. Its lenient immigration laws invite a flood of immigrants from neighboring countries; as a result, the country has seen a dramatic increase in unemployment, poverty, inflation, and crime.
