Costa Rica
“The Rich Coast”
The Flag of Costa Rica




 The blue color stands for the sky, opportunities,
   idealism and perseverance. The white color
stands for peace, wisdom and happiness. The red
   color stands for the blood spilt by martyrs in
defense of the country, as well as the warmth and
             generosity of the people.
Why Doesn’t Costa Rica Have an Army?




• The constitution of 1949 abolished the army in Costa
  Rica. This document was forged in the aftermath of the short
  civil war. The delegates who wrote and ratified the
  constitution believed that a standing army was too great an
  expense given the nature of Costa Rica's emerging
  economy. They believed that the money could be better spent
  in other areas and that a police force would be perfectly
  capable of maintaining the civil order. An army may only be
  formed in the case of a continental agreement, or in case it is
  needed for national defense.
Coffee Production in Costa Rica
• The coffee production in Costa Rica played a key role
  in the country’s history and still is important for the
  Costa Rican economy. Coffee production in the
  country relies on cheap, seasonal labor: Nicaraguan
  immigrants are often employed on plantations.
  Coffee cultivators in the country are paid very little,
  often as little as US$1.5 per basket picked, but the
  wages are not less than in many other industries of
  the Costa Rican primary sectors.
Laura Chinchilla
       The First Female President
• Costa Rica elected its first female president
  last year. In August, FORBES named her the
  NO. 86 most powerful woman in the world.
• She has faced budget deficit, border war with
  neighbor Nicaragua, and drug cartels.




           Even President Chinchilla knows the importance of the
                               GIG EM sign!
Volcanoes of Costa Rica
• Costa Rica is home to a great number of
  volcanoes. There are six active volcanoes and
  another 61 dormant or extinct ones. If you
  look closely among most of the volcanoes, you
  can see what Costa Ricans call the “Cloud
  Forest.”
Pura Vida!
• Pura = pure and Vida = life. "Pure life”
• It can be used both as a greeting and a
  farewell, to express satisfaction, to politely
  express indifference when describing
  something or even to say "thank you" or
  "you're welcome".
