Peru Adventure Tours and Galapagos Tours Costa Rica Culture Homogenous and Pleasurable Costa Ricans Extremely friendly, full of hospitality, love to dance and jump at any opportunity to celebrate. Family-oriented, peaceful and fun loving. Combined with its amazing natural beauty, diverse landscape and unlimited fun, it's the Costa Rican people and blending culture that makes Costa Rica a perfect vacation destination. Because of an overwhelming European influence, over 90% of Costa Rica is white or "Mestizo" (mixture) of Spanish heritage stemming from the Columbus explorations and Spanish conquests of the early 1500s. Unlike its Caribbean neighbors, less than 3% of the Cost Rican population is black with most living in the province of Limón. Their ancestry is traced to the importing of slavery and Jamaican immigration attracted to the employment opportunities of building railroads and working the banana plantations in the late 1800s. Many of the blacks speak a lovely dialect of English with Caribbean influence. A very small number of indigenous Native Indians remain in Costa Rica having been decimated by Spanish conquests or melded over centuries into Costa Rican society and blended culture. Because of the many attractions of Costa Rica, there is a sliver of North American and Asian population.

Among the folk arts, Costa Rica is most famous for its highly decorative oxcarts. Costa Rica has developed the largest national park system of any Latin American country, relative to its territorial extent. These parks include a bewildering range of tropical ecosystems, such as tropical rain forest, cloud forest, dry forest, and elfin forest. Other parks include active volcanoes, turtle nesting sites, and coral reefs. The national parks are a major attraction for Costa Ricans, who flock to them on weekends and major holidays such as Easter Week, Independence Day (September 15), and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. International tourists are also attracted by these parks, some of which are noted worldwide for their vegetation and wildlife.

Investment contacts The Costa Rica Identity by Infocostarica Staff Costa Ricans’ unique traits derive from a profoundly conscious self-image, which orients much of their behavior as both individuals and as nation. The Costa Ricans feel distinct from their neighbors by their "whiteness" and relative lack of indigenous culture. Ticos identify themselves first and foremost as Costa Ricans and only Central Americans or Latin Americans, as an afterthought. Costa Ricans regardless of wealth or status are used to act with utmost humility and boasting of any kind is usually frowned upon. The rise of a young, self-conscious nouveau riche is changing all this. Fortunately, it remains true to say that the behavior and comments of most Ticos are dictated to quedar bier, a desire to leave a good impression. Like the English people, they are terribly frightened of embarrassing themselves, of appearing rude, vulgar or unhelpful. And this might lead to somewhat hipocritical comments on their part: "Nice hairdo", while thinking the complete opposite.
