A testament to the incredible richness of human cultures

An episode from the series WORLD DISCOVERIES

Synopsis

Costa Rica, commonly called "the little Switzerland of America" although it is a little bigger than the Swiss confederation, continuously occupies the first place in the world "Happy Planet" ranking. Well-being, security, life expectancy, natural wealth, ecological protection, and education are the factors taken into account.

A true Garden of Eden, Costa Rica, with its incredible diversity of landscapes, tropical forests, and preserved jungle, is home to exceptional flora and fauna. Its majestic volcanoes, still active, at the origin of thermal springs are another touristic asset.
