      <image:title>Blog - Pros And Cons Of Raising A Family In Costa Rica - Costa Rica is known for “pura vida” – the pure or simple life. It’s a way of life that values happiness, wellness and a connection to nature over material wealth. For families, this mindset can be transformative. The cost of living varies significantly by region, so it’s essential to choose the right area to fit your lifestyle and budget.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Housing: In areas like San Jose, you’ll find modern amenities, but costs can be higher than in rural or beach areas. Guanacaste, known for its beaches, attracts expats but can also come with a price tag. Groceries and Food: Local produce is fresh, affordable, and widely available. Imported goods, however, can be pricey. Embracing local foods can make a big difference in the grocery budget. Activities: Costa Rica’s natural beauty means that much of the entertainment can be outdoor and low-cost, like trips to the beach, national parks, or weekend hikes. Education quality and availability vary across Costa Rica, but there are good public, private and international schools to consider.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“What I believe is that we have to walk before we run. We need to build testing and processing infrastructure so that various actors and companies can integrate into the system and produce according to standards and requirements,” he said. Thompson also noted that current hemp production in the country is very low. These small projects, covering two or three hectares, are primarily focused on oil production or CBD extraction for medicinal purposes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Investors see significant potential in Costa Rica’s climate, which is ideal for hemp cultivation and anticipate further liberalization of the market, including possible recreational cannabis legislation in the future. UNA was the first educational institution to obtain such a license in August 2023. From that point on, MAG informed that the university would focus on research, aiming to study the development and properties of hemp components. Among other goals, the research sought to validate techniques to modulate physiological processes in hemp cultivation, based on two varieties from Canada.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>1. The Haunted Ruins of  Cartago  One of Costa Rica’s most famous haunted sites is the Ruins of Cartago, the remnants of the old  Santiago Apostol Church.  Built in the 16th century and plagued by earthquakes, locals believe the ruins are cursed. Legend has it that a priest fell in love with a woman and, upon realizing he could never marry her, the church was doomed to never be completed. Some claim to have seen shadowy figures or heard strange noises within the crumbling stone walls—perfect for a Halloween visit.</image:caption>

These perfectly round stone spheres, some weighing up to 16 tons, were created  by an ancient civilization over 1,000 years ago. No one knows how they were  made, transported, or what purpose they served. Some speculate they were  astronomical tools or symbols of power, while others believe they have  supernatural significance. Their unexplained origins add an element of ancient  mystery to Costa Rica’s cultural landscape.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Expats- Costa Rica has several expat-friendly locations, such as Guanacaste,  the Central Valley, and beach towns like Tamarindo and Jacó. Expats often live in these areas temporarily for work or retirement, taking advantage of Costa Rica’s “Pensionado” or “Rentista”  visas that allow foreigners to live in the country without becoming permanent residents. They may not fully integrate into the local culture,  choosing instead to participate in expat communities and frequent international schools, English-speaking social circles, and imported goods.</image:caption>

It is crucial to ensure that your foreign driving licence remains valid for the entire duration of your stay. Familiarizing yourself with Costa Rican traffic laws and customs is essential for safety.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Growing along the currently dusty roadsides or lining the forest edge abutting the gardens are weedy long-stemmed plants that have a crown of yellow flowers atop. These are the Jackass Bitters, (Nuerolaena lobata). It belongs to the Aster family which includes the daisies and dandelions. It is one of the most species-rich families of plants on the planet rivalled only by that of the orchids. The flower heads are composites; each individual head is a group of flowers, and the greater display of many flowers together provides a more attractive visual target to potential pollinators.</image:caption>

Most of the crops planted earlier   this year are now beginning their   harvests.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - July Is Gardening Time In Costa Rica - The optimal lunar planting   dates for the month are July 6   to 11.

      <image:title>Blog - Navigating the Complexities of Real Estate Ownership in Costa Rica</image:title>
      <image:caption>Firstly, the legal framework governing real estate in Costa Rica is robust, but it significantly differs from what many foreigners might be accustomed to. One of  the key features of Costa Rican property law is the distinction between titled  properties and those in the maritime zone. Titled properties are straightforward,  offering full ownership rights similar to those in North America or Europe. In  contrast, properties within the maritime zone (the first 200 meters from the high tide line along the coast) are typically restricted, with ownership limited to  leasing through concessions that are primarily available to Costa Rican citizens  or residents.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Navigating the Complexities of Real Estate Ownership in Costa Rica</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another complexity involves the financing of properties. While Costa Rican banks do offer mortgages, they often come with higher interest rates and require a larger down payment compared to North American standards. Moreover, nonresidents typically face stricter conditions and may find it more advantageous to explore financing options in their home country or pay in cash.</image:caption>

The water here is very clear and the sand is made up of tiny seashells. There are many vendors here offering drinks, massages, and chair and canopy rentals. You can also rent snorkelling gear to check out the crystal shoreline or even take a jet ski for a cruise. Just bring cash, preferably colones.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Caribbean Or Pacific Side Of Costa Rica? - The Pacific coast has a huge range of type of beaches. Furthermore, not all the beaches are developed and touristy. In fact, much of the Guanacaste coast is undeveloped since it is so vast. There are just certain towns that are developed for tourism such as Tamarindo, Playas del Coco, Samara, Potrero, Flamingo and Nosara.</image:title>

There doesn’t appear to be rhyme or reason to the market’s layout, items hanging from the ceiling, strewn across the floor, displayed on countertops. Music through out the streets, sounds of the waves from the outdid markets to sounds of cashiers and people chatting away. In Costa Rica the traditional markets are labelled: Fruta, Verdura, cereales, cosmeticos, cerveza. Here you can probably find what you need, it’s just a question of finding its spot  but you catch on pretty quick.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Import A Vehicle to Costa Rica Tax-Free: An Updated Guide-March 2023 - Import Taxes</image:title>
      <image:caption>Combating these prohibitive import taxes, in 2021, Costa Rica passed a law that would allow for the tax-free importation of vehicles into the country to new residents of the country. The process of implementing this law into action took nearly two years and the regulations were released last week. This means that newly accepted residents of Costa Rica can now import two vehicles per household. It is generally most efficient to purchase a used vehicle in Costa Rica and the process to import a vehicle to Costa Rica is slow. In this updated guide it will help explain the process of importing and legally registering vehicles in Costa Rica.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Import A Vehicle to Costa Rica Tax-Free: An Updated Guide-March 2023 - The challenges of this new law are that these certifications take time to obtain and will cost hundreds of dollars in lawyer fees. Once all documents are submitted to the Exonet website, the Treasury Department has 60 days to approve or deny the application. They do take into consideration the economic income declared when applying for residency and will only approve exonerations on vehicles and goods that they consider within your monthly income. Once applications have been approved the exoneration and new residents are committed to have residency in Costa Rica for 10 years from the time the exoneration is granted. If you decide to cancel your residency before the ten years, you have to pay the full amount of import duties that were exonerated plus interest. The same applies if immigration cancels your residency for any reason. Only the beneficiary, spouse, or dependent family members (children under 25) are allowed to drive the car.</image:title>

      <image:caption>About 60% of the Costa Rican population lives in urban areas; therefore, considerable focus has been targeted to expand water services to cities over the last decade. Approximately 99% of the urban populations are connected to water services, which is higher than the 90% average for the rest of Latin America. Connection to the public water supply in rural areas of Costa Rica is about 92% representing about 1.56 million inhabitants.</image:caption>

One of the best things that you can do for the planet and your body is to eat locally-sourced real food that comes from the earth; garden, farm, fresh water, or sea-to-belly kind of food that isn’t processed, chalked full of preservatives, and wrapped in plastic.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It's not often that you meet someone interested in Costa Rica who hasn't heard of the North Pacific Gold Coast or the Tamarindo area. Tamarindo real estate is without a doubt one of the most sought after locations to purchase a property in Costa Rica due to its beauty and quality of life.  What's intriguing is that Tamarindo and its adjacent beach properties attract a wide range of international visitors and investors with vastly different backgrounds and a variety of resources.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tamarindo is a study in contrasts. The view from Tamarindo beach looking back towards the town is surprisingly tranquil, with  charming restaurants, lovely homes, and quaint hotels obscured behind palm and mangrove trees. A stroll along the sand at sunrise or sunset will reinforce the peaceful atmosphere, with the long wide tropical bay stretching out before you for miles. On the other hand, even though the main beach road is only two lanes and remains unpaved in sections, you'll enjoy the hustle and bustle of a busy Costa Rican village.</image:caption>
