small update, Costa Rica is now running on 100% renewable electricity.
and still is
That's dope
Yup ^_^
No they run on something like 97% renewable energy
Pierce Johnston That was 2/3 years ago, now it’s 100%, we even selling energy to other Central American countries lol
Oh, that crocodile died some years ago. It's name was pocho. They arranged a funeral and everything.
;(
RIP POCHO. sweetest crocodile ever.

We missed him :")
So much love from Iran🇮🇷❤️🇨🇷
Costa rica is my favorite country in the world & it’s my dream to visit there😍😍😭
Hi Lia how are you, thank you very much for the love towards us you are welcome when you like I send you a big hug to the beautiful Iran🇮🇷❤🇨🇷
I'm from Costa Rica :D you are welcome to visit us :)
My dream is travelling around the word and discovering new things about all countries but I don't haveee moneyyyy to do this so just I can watch vlogs to persons who like adventurers
I recomend you to go to río Trárcoles and to Volcán Arenal and Poás
You can visit us anytime..❤️
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?
It's like they looked at everything that the Western countries thought of as "good" then went ahead and beat them at their own game!
Respect.
Don't get fooled by that
We are nothing near perfect.
We have a lot of corruption and crime here
@G Gomez hahaha stop bitching, you couldn't be more pathetic, could you?
@G Gomez stfu lame
@Dario Fonseca no es mi culpa que no puedas hablar inglés
Greetings from Panama, We love you Costa Rica!
we love panama too!!
Thx maeeee pura vida
We love you bros.
Is mutual
And we love you too :)
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.
😂😂😂
hahahhahahha
I know, but some how letters and packages get delivered... is crazy. :)
In Honduras is the same thing with addresses.
.. and i dont think this will change anytime soon 😂 Sometimes we even use locations that don't exist anymore.. like: from the former Drugstore ... 🙈
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
Are u tico?, because is true, but.... u sound like catracho
Football
Our biggest rivalries in soccer are most definitely the US and Mexico, always climbing to be the best in Concacaf
I'm Panamanian but i know ticos hates nicaraguans xd
Brand Tzawala yes i am
Nobody:
China: Hey, can I build you a stadium?
Whyd china wanna build them a stadium? That confused me and was seemingly random

There are 90 km from the airport to Puntarenas... It is funny....
@@yolandachavarria7119 RIGHT!!! Every Rico I know (including myself) laughed at the fact they they choose San Jose, osea mae que??? And made it have dirt roads, I know we're not the best at making roads pero QUÉ? How do you expect the capital to be made of dirt?? We have thousands of beaches just choose one it wouldn't be hard
And it was incredibly Inaccurate
@@yolandachavarria7119 True, although our airport isn't in San José, it's in Alajuela
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! 🇨🇷🇬🇧
We love you guys as well. You will always be welcome here.
NxMaGiiCz I'm Costa rican :D and Donald trump thinks we are Mexico :(, anyway, you're welcome to come and I feel very well knowing that at least someone thinks good about our country xD
elias gonzalez elias gonzalez I wouldn't take that Mexico confusion to harshly, there was a study done, where only 46% Americans could name 5 capitals. Let's just say Geography isn't there strong suite and Donald Trump isn't known for is Geography skills neither. Yeah, I love Costa Rica, calm, tropical, wants to be sustainable and look after there incredible environment and wildlife, has to be one of the best Central American countries! Really want to visit some time in the future! 🇬🇧🇨🇷
NxMaGiiCz you want it and I'm already here
Thanks for the kind words.. hope you can visit us some day and explore it by yourself! 🐒🐾🐢🐍🐳🌳🌴
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!!!
Jajaja
Costa Rica has become expensive so I’d add one more similarity, although as you probably know better than me, they are still quite different, starting with traffic/transportation system.
@@dcairol And being on time
@@LuchoCastle_11 hahaha. Yess. “La hora tica”, you probably know that one. There are countries with worse punctuality, though (Peru, for example, no offense if a Peruvian person reads this).
my country, uruguay is also called the switzerland of latam xD
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.
a formal system would be almost impossible to implement in Costa Rica, because most streets don't even have names, some streets that do have names don't even extend to the next town over, the place is a maze, if you named every street, you would have the exact same problem anyways, it would probably be just as easy to use landmarks anyways.
I mean, my address is 500 meters north, 300 meters east and 250 meters south of the Banco Nacional. Guess where XD
Jaja its so accurate it hurts. Lucky we dont use letters anymore
For real, i've had problems with international shipping because of that lmao
@@leonardomurillo6256 happens all the time hahaha
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.
Tim Despain Thank you ^.^
Thank you!!
Tuanis dude!
I did equatorial guinea for a project once and no one knew what it was. some people thought I meant ecuador
Thank you .Yes we can !
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
One of my good friends was in Costa Rica and he said the same. Really surprised me when he made that comparison, it's kinda true though.
Be proud of being costa rican, it's a beautiful country and has educated and open minded people. Definately on my to-visit list.
I know we don't really call ourselves that way, but we do have an hymn that says we're "la Suiza centroamericana" 😂🤷🏼♀️
Ching Pow Wing Wow hope you can come here soon ☺️️️! Thank you very much!
It started in an old US reel about Costa Rica back in the 50s, starts with a visit to the then La Sabana Airport, now a big park smackdab in the middle of the capital. I watched it in school as a toddler.
@@coyote271280 hey, I've seen that too, its somewhere here on youtube LOL.

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!
Hi?
he didnt mention de most iconic word "Diay" or "Deay" which is the equivalent of "Bitte" in german which can be used in whatever situation you are in and in any context
Hey, any updates of the adventure to Costa Rica haha? Are you still living here?
Costa Rica is nice. Be like Costa Rica.
Xiuyuan Liu loved it! 👌

Ye
Xiuyuan Liu we're nice dudes ;)
Gracias mae :D
Hell yeah!
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!
TheIdeaExchange seriously!
You forgot about FREE HEALTHCARE!!!
U are right, but we still got some serious corruption problems :(
Not everything is that nice, a lot of people picture Costa Rica with zero trash and like a paradise everywhere, but we have a problem with our people, we can't recycle as we are supposed to, theres a lot of thrash on streets, Beaches, parks, everywhere. one person throw garbage and 3 of us pick it up, that's mostly how it works
Educating people is hard but we try
Thank you for thinking that way of our country, just pointing we are not *that* paradise everyone thinks:)

Free? Where? In Costa Rica it isn't xD
Went to Guanacaste region for my honeymoon and we had a fantastic time. Really sweet people. Pura vida!
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 ✌🏻🇨🇷🇿🇦
I'm in Panama now, going to Costa Rica this weekend. Pura vida mae!

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
Also no one carries around a machete, trust me
+Jayson Rosales No one does dude, regular everyday people never carry them
Maybe the best? We got to the quarter finals and lost to Netherlands on penalties!
is there a flexible immigration policy so that peace and nature lover can live in this country forever
+Jhon Henry
Costa Rica es uno de los mejores equipos de la CONCACAF , esa es una realidad . EE.UU. , México y Costa Rica son los mejores de la Concacaf . ¿De qué país eres?
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
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!

We have them but we don't always carry them around 😂 I live in the middle of the city and we own 2, what for? Don't ask me, but hey! They're with us after all!
Thanks for the compliment too!!! It's always nice to hear some warm words about our country 🇨🇷 Pura vida and hope you're doing well during the pandemy ✨
I wish more countries would follow Costa Rica's example with their carbon use and diplomacy

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 😁✌🏼️🇨🇷⛰🏖🏝🏞
Gracias por hablar bien de Colombia.
Costa Rica is awesome. Except for my Belize and my wife's Barbados, Costa Rica is my favorite country!
thank you bro pura vida
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.
You are so right broh
Atleast Both countries arent like India xd
Yeah, we just want to hone our skills with the language. That's how our english teachers tell us to get better, by speaking with you guys 😊
Thank u for visiting our capital, Is si underrated
The people of Panama City are very arrogant, in fact many people in the interior of the country criticize them 😅, whatever, It is true that there are many Panamanians like that, but at least where I live they are quite friendly
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!
ok. that is like 2% of the total population of costa Rica. that it is not a real fact of costa rica because in rural areas in all that world carry machetes or any thing a like.
En las zonas rurales si se ven pero como dije eso es la minoria de la poblacion, no creo que la gente ande caminando por el paseo de las flores con machetes o por san jose centro? tampoco es como lo dice barby no es la mayoria, es una minoria. o me va a decir que usted anda caminando por ahi con un machete como si nada. Sea realista.
Como lo dijo su abuelo, las generaciones de ahora no sabemos como usarlo. Asi que no es algo que se ve muy seguido
pues bn por usted dond vive? yo vivo en rohormoser y nunca he tenido q usar un machete en mi vida. Como dije es una costumbre antigua y de zona rural en el GAM no es comun, ademas usted no anda caminando por ahi un miercoles en el GAM con un machete de fijo ese es mi punto y si va a seguir comentando ya seria tontera no c como explicarle q esto no c ve siempre no es algo comun
mae no es comun, ud de dond es de san carlos ya q me imagino q dice eso por que usted lo ve dia a dia, pues MI OPINION y lo q yo he visto andar un machete no es algo comun, es comun en jardineros eso si pero la gente no anda por ahi con su machete no es normal

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

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
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
+daniel Hahahaha. It won't. xD Some time ago the government decided to start labeling streets and avenues, but they're fighting against many many many years of giving addresses as he mentioned, so if someone tries to give out the address with street and avenue numbers it's almost 100% possible that no one would get it. I've tried. xD
Legit my address is 2km from toll heading east, left from church (that is no longer there), 1.5km (that's a lie but we don't wanna measure exactly) house with blue gate.
Also the government doesn't ask privet roads to be named so if I'm using Uber i technically live on 'un named road' as the name of the road.
I'm not scared of sending out my address cuz it would be imposible to find with the province, region, or town, so :P and even then people get lost
@@SakuraAiCR I live in Alajuela Province and it's true. People don't know the names of most of the streets, except maybe right downtown. I always wanted to know what the ICE uses to find houses and electricity meters. They have some sort of coding system. My address used to start out with (in English) "From the Gilded Pig Restaurant, xxxx meters west..." (I live in a small town outside Alajuela.)Then somebody bought the pig and now it's just a regular bar. :)

I love the fact that you actully knew a lot of my country, you made a really good research about Costa Rica.
I really love to see this type of videos.
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.
Araxie Rose Greetings from Costa Rica, I mostly eat at home, don't like vegan food outside.
Looks like an amazing country.
went there, I was right

So "The Last House on the Left" is actually an address in Costa Rica? 😉
+Strato Incendus Lol yes it is, sometimes someone can actually use a former business as a point of reference, even though that business closed like 10 years ago!
+Angie Chaves I was referring to the film 😉.
my address when I live there was literally "200 meters West of Bar La PiaPia, Calle Doña Ema, First house on the right". (not including city and town lol).
@@Annecpino13 500 metros Oeste del antiguo trapiche... jajajajajajaja ( I laugh because the Trapiche in question wasn't even around any more when I was born LOL, yet everyone knew where it used to be).

Just binged watched all the previous Geography Now videos so this is my first live one! So excited!
I know, I just realized it's always few weeks between each episode :(
This channel is great! Glad you make this videos.
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.
I studied abroad in Costa Rica this year. it was so amazing and I saw a lot of what you were talking about down there. good job.
Brace yourselves a Balkan country is coming up...
let's wait and see how he will spit all over Serbia
I need it for a project though...
+Scorpion 75 Well Serbia (as a country) is kind of jerk, although the people are cool! :)
People on the Internet are once again going to think we're all Neanderthals.

Well but they don't know that Eastern Europe is the Best Europe and Balkan is the best place :P
What a great video, thank you so much, saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
I've been to Costa Rica twice. A beautiful country with very kind people
Greetings from USA
I had no idea Costa Rica had no military whatsoever. Sounds like an amazing country
+grassynole07 Its mostly ok as long as you dont spend much time in the inner cities. They are not very pretty. Suburbs, beaches and mountains are very nice though.
+grassynole07 Panama and Nicaragua just had an idea...
Costa Rica has no army, and has universal health care. Yes, a small "poor" country has an universal health care. The Ticos live almost as long as the Americans while spending per person 1/9 of the American health expenditures per person. The health system is pretty good. How USA has not a universal health care, and cannot control the health expenses is something I am unable to understand. I'm sure that the mystery of the Holy Trinity is more understandable.
They have also a very good education system, ranked in 2014 20th of the world. All that in a small country without natural resources, except mountains and jungles...Pura vida.
+Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon that's because we don't have Republicans :D
Luppercus Laughs...Excellent and good reason, the republican universal egoism.
+Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon We live longer [79.70 years average] than Americans do [78.74]. That is factual!

Thanks for the precision. The cipher I had remembered was a close match. I have found the source of the ciphers. Those of the OMS estimations put the 2 countries at pair.
Another fact the USA are lagging far behind West and North Europe, and Japan, who are spending in health far less than the USA, and there is little difference of life expectancy between the social classes in these countries.
In the States the difference is shocking, the rich live as long as Swedish people, the poor less than some Africans. In a moral point of view I do no understand how a very rich country can leave a part of hits citizens without proper health care.
The US expectancy has been going down since a few years as more people is joining the army of those with no or bad health insurance in this country.
The same thing is happening to the level of education. Superior education is now unfordable for the lower incomes, and for many a heavy debt.
USA has a much higher population than Costa Rica. If USA has universal healthcare then there would be a huge economic disaster.
Thank you Vincent! Great work! 👍
Thank you for this Good video…
Pura Vida! from Golfito, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica arriving in "Tico hour", why it doesn't surprise me? haha (For those who doesn't know, in Costa Rica we have our own stereotype of always arriving late "Hora Tica")
+Jimmy Johns I disagree with this comment and I will present my arguments next wednesday, maybe thursday, but probably more like friday, next week is also good. I'll let you know when I'm ready.
@@Funkestech it's been 2 years

That's totally true tho. If we have an appointment or party we say it's gonna start like an hour earlier (let's say 7pm) so that the people start arriving whenever you want (8pm for this example)(and sometimes it's more than an hour). Moreover, I think this is terrible about us... Always late 😂
Not all of us are hora-tica ticos, and go to Perú or Brazil to see if you get an appointment on time.
4:25 I loved that adjective "beautifantastic notes bills". It makes sense and it is very appealing.
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!
Love to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 from Belgium 🇧🇪
