With a population of over 1/2 million, San Jose is more similar to North American cities than most Central American cities. This city has an energetic vibe with an active night-life. You'll never get bored during the week! San Jose's convenient location makes it possible to explore all the coasts, volcanoes and national parks that Costa Rica has to offer! Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has an abundance of natural beauty and is populated by a friendly, well-educated people. Costa Rica has obtained the highest standard of living in Central America by embracing democracy and disbanding its army. This small country is a paradise for nature lovers with national parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches, and more water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand. However, the small pre-Columbian indigenous population was wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by the conquistadors.
