Why are celebrities like Mel Gibson and Angelina Jolie, among many others, heading to Costa Rica? It is very simple because is an awesome place to be! Costa Rica has amazing beaches, breathtaking volcanoes (with natural hot springs), the biggest bio-diversity of the world, friendly people and very accessible prices. For example, you can get a full Costa Rican meal “casado” that includes: rice, beans, tortillas, plantains, steak or chicken, salad and a drink for less than $2 (USD), I am not kidding! Of course that is not the most common price in San Jose, but is not uncommon in the coast locations.

Costa Rica has four million habitants and most of them live in the “metropolitan circle” which engulfs San Jose, some parts of Alajuela, some parts of Heredia and a little bit of Cartago. So obviously there is a lot of free space and a lot of beach-front property available (this shouts celebrities).

So next time that you are in Costa Rica, keep your eye out for some celebrities walking nearby.
