17 Facts You May Not Know About Costa Rica:

1. Costa Rica's forests are home to an astounding array of creatures, including the world's tiniest squirrel species, the aptly named "pygmy squirrel," which measures just a few inches in length.

2. The decision to abolish the army in 1948 was not only a move towards peace but also stemmed from a unique circumstance: after a brief civil war, the victorious side opted to invest in education and healthcare instead of maintaining military forces.

3. While many know about Costa Rica's active volcanoes, few realize that the country also hosts one of the world's few accessible underwater volcanic vents, known as "Black Smoke" or "Black Smokers," found off its Pacific coast.

4. Costa Rica boasts an intriguing legend surrounding the Blue Morpho butterfly: some indigenous communities believe that encountering a Blue Morpho brings good luck and symbolizes a visit from departed loved ones.

5. Beyond its reputation for relaxation, "Pura Vida" is also a philosophy deeply ingrained in Costa Rican culture, encouraging individuals to embrace life's simple pleasures and prioritize happiness over material wealth.

6. In the highlands of Costa Rica, where coffee is cultivated, there exists a tradition known as "La Fiesta del Tigre," or "The Festival of the Tiger," where locals dress in elaborate costumes to celebrate the coffee harvest.

7. Costa Rica's commitment to ecotourism extends to innovative initiatives such as "sustainable surfing," where surfers are encouraged to protect coastal ecosystems and minimize their environmental impact.

8. One of Costa Rica's hidden gems for wildlife enthusiasts is the chance to witness the annual "massive moth migration," where millions of moths undertake a synchronized journey across the country's forests.

9. In addition to its renowned Pacific whale watching, Costa Rica offers a unique experience on its Caribbean coast: the chance to spot the elusive West Indian Manatee, one of the world's rarest marine mammals.

10. While many are familiar with Costa Rica's stunning waterfalls, few know about the "Cave of Wonders," a hidden cave behind the La Fortuna Waterfall believed by locals to hold mystical properties.

11. Costa Rica's commitment to conservation extends to its urban areas, where innovative projects such as vertical gardens and rooftop forests are transforming cityscapes into thriving ecosystems.

12. Hidden within Costa Rica's dense rainforests are ancient petroglyphs, some dating back thousands of years, offering clues to the country's pre-Columbian civilizations and their connection to nature.

13. Costa Rica's hummingbird diversity extends beyond the colorful species commonly seen by tourists; it also includes the secretive "Sapphire-throated hummingbird," known for its iridescent plumage and elusive nature.

14. Costa Rica's quest for carbon neutrality is not limited to energy; the country is also pioneering sustainable transportation initiatives, including the development of electric-powered "eco-buses" in urban centers.

15. While the oxcart tradition is celebrated, few know about the "Festival of Oxen," an annual event in rural communities where elaborately decorated oxcarts are paraded through the streets in a colorful spectacle.

16. Within the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve lies a hidden wonder: the "Enchanted Tree," a centuries-old strangler fig believed by locals to possess mystical powers and serve as a guardian of the forest.

17. Costa Rica's longevity secrets extend beyond diet and lifestyle; some communities attribute their longevity to the healing properties of indigenous plants, which are used in traditional medicines passed down through generations.
