Culture Heritage and Culture
They take pride in having more than one hundred years of democratic tradition, and almost half a century without an army. The army was abolished in 1948, and the money the country saves by not expending in military issues is invested in improving the Costa Ricans' standard of living, which has fostered a culture of social peace that makes it such a pleasant place to visit The Ticos The Ticos, as Costa Ricans are
commonly known, are famous for their hospitality, and are quite
happy to live up to their reputation. They are well-educated and
hard working people, who are quick with a handshake and a smile.
They are well aware of the special land they have, and most likely
they will help foreigners when they get lost, even explaining things
that might seem bizarre to foreigners, and making their stay as
enjoyable as possible. |

ACTIVITIES
AND ATTRACTIONS
Costa
Rican culture is in many ways a reflection of its racial diversity.
The predominant influence has long been European, which is reflected
in everything from the official language -- Spanish -- to the
architecture of the country's churches and other historic buildings.
The indigenous influence is less visible, but can be found in
everything from the tortillas that make part of a typical Costa
Rican meal, to the handmade ceramics sold at roadside stands.
An
important aspect of Costa Rica's cultural legacy is their love for
peace and democracy. The Ticos like to stand out that their nation
is the exception in Latin America, where military dictatorships have
long dominated politics.
