small update, Costa Rica is now running on 100% renewable electricity.

Oh, that crocodile died some years ago. It's name was pocho. They arranged a funeral and everything.

The Costa Ricans' are heroes! Environmentally friendly, good education and healthcare, not a militarized state, stable economy, diplomatically neutral. Heroes! Why can't everybody be like Costa Rica?

So much love from Iran🇮🇷❤️🇨🇷 Costa rica is my favorite country in the world & it’s my dream to visit there😍😍😭

I'm Cuban and I lived in Costa Rica for 6 months about 8 years ago. It's one of the best countries in Latin America, an example to follow. He is not kidding about the address thing, my address was literally 2 sentences and included a high school from 5 blocks of me.... I still don't know how anyone can find anything there.

Greetings from Panama, We love you Costa Rica!

Being from Costa Rica and watching this just makes so happy 😄 It fills you with pride to hear someone else talking about your country and it's beauty 🇨🇷✌️

Nobody: China: Hey, can I build you a stadium?

Ahh, Costa Rica... The home of Jurassic Park.

I Love Costa Rica. Had to study the country for its Eco-tourism in Geography here in the U.K.! Such an amazing country that wants to protect what they have, and what makes there country so magical! Keep up the Eco friendly work Costa Rica! 🇨🇷🇬🇧

Almost 100% accurate, i think the only inaccurate fact is that we don't have a soccer rivalry with Nicaragua since Nicaraguans mostly play baseball. Our central american rivals have always been Hondurans

I'm tico and I can say that the adress system description is totally accurate. Although the government has "tried" implement a formal system, it hasn't worked out pretty well giving the hold the population has to the older system.

un abrazo grandote a los Maes de Costa Rica desde Colombia, su país es un paraiso :3

Wow Costa Rica; clean/renewable energy, elimination of deforestation, no military and armed conflicts since 1948, and great education system. The rest of the world needs to take notes. Oh and thanks Vincent for those great animations, you do amazing work. Great video as always!

Colombia loves Costa Rica :) Amamos a los ticos!

I'm Costa Rican and Swiss... makes me laught about the Switzerland of latin America... And once in Switzerland someone said laughing that Switzerland was the Costa Rica of Europe!!!

In high school Spanish classes we were always assigned to do reports on Spanish-speaking countries. My favorite one to do was definitely Costa Rica. They're the modern pinnacle of a pacifist, Eco-friendly nation-state. From the USA: keep on keepin' on, Costa Rica.

I'm in Panama now, going to Costa Rica this weekend. Pura vida mae!

I just love Costa Rica, I had to do research on this country for an assignment in uni, and I just love their history and it's so beautiful

Great video! I'm actually moving to Costa Rica next month! One thing you did not talk about is that the pacifist notion goes way beyond politics. ¨Pura vida¨ is more than just a greeting, you could say it's a way of life. Chill, positive and relaxed, that's how I would describe it. Pura vida, mae!

We actually don't call ourself the Switzerland of Central America like an ego thing, it wasn't us who started, it was people from other countries who started saying that, specially a Nicaraguan song writer who made a song calling us that

Costa Rica is nice. Be like Costa Rica.

"By the Mango Tree / Por el palo de mango" Basically every direction outside of the main cities XD

7:57 Costa Rica: * avoids conflict for 60 years Switzerland: Are you challenging me?

Costa Rica is the safest and richest country in Central America. Very diverse and is the third most Eco-Friendly country in the world. Costa Rica is one of the most valued environmental destinations. Also Costa Rica has exceptionally high life expectancy of 79, one of the highest in the world. And Costa Rica is ranked as Number 1 for happiest country in the world. Fun Fact : We're one of the best soccer teams in Concacaf

i have a deep sympathy with guys from Zimbabwe ......maybe . 2050 is ur year

Went to Guanacaste region for my honeymoon and we had a fantastic time. Really sweet people. Pura vida!

Went with my wife to Costa Rica and man we fell in love with the country! It’s so beautiful 😍 hoping to go back soon!

I LOVE THIS EPISODE. Costa Rica, what a beautiful country

Okay Seriously This SHOULD have been up like half a week ago but problems problems problems. Yeah yeah Yeah sorry. Either way, hope you ENJOY the TICO COAST!

My favorite place to visit! I'll never forget seeing my first sunset there on the Pacific coast it was amazing. 39 days and counting until I get to see those again. Great video, I learned a lot more about my favorite place to go fishing and see wildlife.

If you go to Costa Rica…. VISIT TORTUGUERO!!! It’s in a national park so you are only able to enter on guided tours/overnight stays. However, it’s incredible. The scenery is stunning and you get to be right up close to the wildlife. There’s no road access, only boat, and they also offer boat tours to observe wildlife. You can see sloths, caymans, crocodiles, spiders, birds, everything. And they also offer tours to view the turtles laying their eggs, right up close and in person. I’m currently mid way through a 3 week trip in CR travelling all round the whole country, and Tortuguero was the first stop. It’s been an absolutely incredible experience so I urge you, if you can afford it, to visit Tortuguero. Pura vida ✌🏻🇨🇷🇿🇦

Costa Rica is awesome!

VIVA COSTA RICA! PURA VIDA! Me encanta ese pais, saludos desde Chile a ustedes, ticos n.n

Seriously I wanna go there, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Saludos ticos! desde chile

wow, Costa Rica sounds great, peacefull, green, friendly, all i knew before i watched this video was the capital, the flag and where the country is.

As an American that loves Costa Rica, I'm glad to hear that we're their "best friends".

"A place where someone can do this to a crocodile" *Laughs in Australian accent*

I wish more countries would follow Costa Rica's example with their carbon use and diplomacy

This is a country everybody should be dreaming of!!

Hi Paul I'm from Costa Rica, I wanna say thank you so much for making a video about my country, I loved it a lot, I really appreciate the effort you putted on this video. Somehow I think in my opinion that in terms of our older brother you should named Colombia too because both countries have similar culture and accents and other stuff for you to now but good that you named Mexico as an example of it and also I hope you have the chance to visit CR soon or if you already did met the country, thanks for came here Saludos y pura vida mae 😁✌🏼️🇨🇷⛰🏖🏝🏞

I love Costa Rica been there twice and it’s amazing. And yes it seems like everybody has a machete

Saludos desde México a toda Costa Rica, mi país fav de toda Centro América, más que un hermano mayor como dice el video somos países amigos y muy similares Son un lindo país ❤

I want to go there..., like... NOW!!!

Excelente el vídeo. Precioso el país. Saludos a l@s herman@s Costarricenses desde Colombia :3

I am a simple Tica, I see my country, I upvote. Pretty good video and accurate. Good job.

something you have forgotten to say in your video is that Costa Rica owns more water than land! could be a funny fact!

you made me love Costa Rica!!!

"...when someone can do this to a crocodile" FLORIDA!!!! NO, NO, AUSTRALIA!!!!!!

As a Costa Rican, I really enjoyed this video. I love how you kept on a positive note. Thank you, I love your channel :)

"25% of the country's land is national parks." Canada: "Heh. That's cute."

Costa Rica is a model for the world

Brace yourselves a Balkan country is coming up...

Lots of people are comparing Costa Rica to Panama. I found the people in Costa Rica much friendlier, and the taxis not as corrupt in Costa Rica, and I met many more English speakers. Also less people are after the gringos for their money in Costa Rica. I had so many people in Costa Rica just want to talk because they wanted to talk to a gringo. In Panama if someone is talking to you a lot they usually want something. But in Panama I have only been to Panama City and one of the beach areas. But San Jose did have some areas where people want the gringo's money also.

3:05 A deformed bull with severe scoliosis leaping into freedom is my new spirit animal

Costa Rican Here: 99% accurate mae!!!! XD

"Deformed bull with extreme scoliosis"😂😂😂😂

Stand up Puerto Limón🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾☺️!!!!

My best memories in life are from Costa Rica.. I consider it my second home! Love from India 🇮🇳

Barby Love your videos! This is almost a 100% as a tica just a couple of things: 1. We dont carry machetes 2. The football rivary it is not against nicaragua. it is against mexico and U.S.A since they make us play in the snow in 2013 that it's something that every tico will resent. FOREVER! As a tica I love this video just those things that i needed to clarify. Keep the good work! Good vibes!

Soy costarricense y yo tambien siempre he visto al país con forma de toro

8:41 why is this so accurate lmao, ppl never like it when we say that even though it makes sense

I'm really impressed with the quality of your research, content and the way you present the data. Congratulations man. Great work

Costa Rica is awesome. Except for my Belize and my wife's Barbados, Costa Rica is my favorite country!

Costa Rica looks amazing, love from Australia.

woow i had no idea Costa Rica is so amazing!!! I'm going there in november i can't wait!!!!

Me : Reads comments about his country Also me : Dies with Pride

After seeing this, I'm really interested in visiting Costa Rica! Overwhelming nature meets tropical paradise!

haha Viva Costa Rica. saludos de Mexico

I didn't start watching your videos until around 2020-2021, but the fact that your videos start in 2016, the year I graduated high school and entered college, makes me super nostalgic.

Costa Rica is good at soccer

I had no idea Costa Rica had no military whatsoever. Sounds like an amazing country

So "The Last House on the Left" is actually an address in Costa Rica? 😉

So proud to be Costa Rican!! Thank you for such a great video!!❤️

A fun fact: The Dole's Frozen strawberries are from Costa Rica being frozen in the U.S and brung back here

IT'S TIME TO LEARN GEOGRAPHY

Aaaah. Am Guatemalan. But, my next stop will be Costa Rica.

Hasta ahora veo este hermoso vídeo sobre mi país pero bueno desde ya sean bienvenidos al país del pura vida el gallo pinto y sus playas los esperamos un abrazó 😁🇨🇷

As Costa Rican, I loved this video!! You missed one fact of the flag: the "little balls" around the coat of arms represents the coffee, because coffee was the first, and still, one of the biggest products of exportation! The soccer matches between CR and Nicaragua are not heated at all!!! Nicaragua's major sport is baseball, NC don't care if CR always wins! The soccer matches between these two are just boring

Looks like an amazing country.

México adora a Costa Rica y eso no es un secreto

Costa Rica is such a nice country, the education of the people there is insane, the health system is top of the world, the energy production is 100% renewable, I fell in love with the country since the day one, and my goal is to retire there, the security is awesome, you can walk everywhere and nothing will happen, the people goes in the streets smiling to everyone else, love it, greetings from Germany.

hey I'm a colombian living in Costa Rica and out of all the videos I've seen about Costa Rica this was by far the most accurate! AMAZING RESEARCH!! you just earned a follower!

There is no need for military! Costa Rica proved this

"Costa Rica looks like a deformed bull with severe scoliosis leaping into freedom" LMFAO!

"deformed bull...leaping into freedom!" haha

I'm from Slovakia (a small country in central Europe) and this year we are visiting Costa Rica. I've been saving money for this trip several years and now my dream comes true. I can't wait😊❤️

Zimbabwe video will be the best because you're improving yourself each video. Congrats!

how many ticos here? Pura Vida desde pérez.

Wow! I had no idea about how Costa Rica was like until I watched this video. I really like all the development in different areas and how the country is amazing. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Something that I found interesting when I was doing my foreign exchange in Costa Rica is that there were a number of vegetarian/vegan restaurants. Like, I swear there were maybe three in San José alone, which is interesting because San José isn't a very touristy destination. Either way, being the veghead that I am, I was pleasantly surprised. Also, if you love smoothies, you're in for a treat. Like, every other stand sells smoothies, and they're way more affordable than up here in Wisconsin, where I live.

I've been waiting for this and I loooooooooooooooooooove the video. Also, the part about the addresses is SO accurate. I had a friend whose house address was: At the pulpería turn left, two blocks then right, then at the tree turn left, there's a dead end, it's the fourth house on the right, not the left. Because the blocks were not the same size on the left. xD

YOU FORGOT WHAT THE FLAG STANDS FOR ARGHHH. I wanted another one of the blood of those who fought animations

Costa Rica is beautiful! Love from America 🇺🇸❤️ 🇨🇷

Love to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 from Belgium 🇧🇪

From some flag website: "The colors of the Costa Rican flag represent different aspects of Costa Rica: The color blue represents the sky, opportunities at reach, intellectual thinking, perseverance, infinite, eternity, and ideals of the religious and spiritual desires; the color white symbolizes clear thinking, happiness, wisdom, power and beauty of the sky, initiative to search for new endeavors, and peace; and the color red represents the warmth of the Costa Rican people, their love of life, their blood shed for freedom, and their generosity."

Just binged watched all the previous Geography Now videos so this is my first live one! So excited!

I've been to Costa Rica twice. A beautiful country with very kind people Greetings from USA

"A deformed bull with severe scoliosis"😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
