It is an attractive concept that was proposed to the inhabitants of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and apparently, it has been of great value to the already very effervescent culture and economy focused on tourism of the Central American nation. Without a doubt, having one of the five blue zones that exist in the world is a source of pride for all the inhabitants of the Costa Rican province. It includes the 5 cantons of the Nicoya Peninsula: Hojancha, Nandayure, Carrillo, Santa Cruz, and Nicoya.
Blue Zones are defined as those geographic areas that concentrate populations with high longevity greater than ninety and one hundred years of age. There are 5 Blue Zones on the planet, one is located on the Nicoya Peninsula and they complete the list Sardinia Italy; Okinawa Japan, Loma Linda United States and Icaria Greece and the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.
There are factors that coincide in these populations such as good physical and mental health, healthy food tradition, respect for family unity, solid faith and spirituality, constant mobility and a purpose for life.
Along the Guanacaste coastline, there are numerous beaches that are bathed by the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. The landscape of the coast is exceptional. There are extensive white sand beaches and a calm sea tinged with intense blues... In the northern sector of the unit, there are two distribution centers: Liberia and Santa Cruz, which in turn are interrelated with five important tourism development centers, which are Papagayo, El Coco, Flamingo, Conchal and Tamarindo. The southern sector is home to the Nicoya distribution center and the Sámara development center.
The incomparable beauty of its landscapes that range from the tropical dry forest to the lower montane forest and its warm climate, as well as its fertile nature, have made Guanacaste one of the most popular places for local and international tourism and it is one of the regions more developed, based on high investment hotels with direct demand potential.
Through joint ventures, Airbnb-managed homes and property management services, or with investment-operated rental communities in the region focused on wellness, luxury and healthy lifestyle. The situation in Costa Rica shows that interest from Investors has greatly increased during this pandemic. All this coupled with the fact that the country has had a positive image internationally as a post-Covid destination, whether for expatriates or investors. Is this the time to invest in Costa Rica and its blue zones?
This is the best time to come and get to know the Pura Vida Life Style.
