Blue zones are home to the longest-living humans, and Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula happens to be one of them. One thing’s clear: Costa Ricans know the secret to living well. Hang around them and you just might figure it out yourself. 这个令人难以置信的中美洲国家已经成为一个受欢迎的乡村目的地, eco, and adventure tourism, and it’s easy to see why. As one of the most biodiverse nations in the world, 哥斯达黎加提供了一系列令人惊叹的探索环境和物种. You can watch baby sea turtles hatch on either of the country’s coasts, “sky walk” across the suspension bridges in the Monteverde rainforest, and learn to surf off some seriously gorgeous beaches. Go whitewater rafting in San José, spot toucans and macaw parrots up close on a rainforest aerial tram, and ride a horse through farmland on your way to the Arenal Volcano. Go diving in Costa Rica’s Caribbean reefs, zipline through lush forest canopy, and repel down the rock face of the La Fortuna waterfall. 这个国家到处都是自然美景，有机会以令人兴奋和难忘的方式体验户外活动.

If you’re passionate about sustainability and environmentalism, 去哥斯达黎加留学，学习如何管理一个真正的绿色国家. 2013年在世界能源理事会能源三难指数中排名第二, Costa Rica is a world leader in environmental friendliness. Thirty percent of its forests are protected reserves, and ninety-three percent of its electricity comes from renewable sources. Costa Rica aspires to be the first carbon-neutral country by 2021. 考虑到这个小国拥有世界上5%的生物多样性，并且是可持续发展努力的先驱, it’s an ideal place to study the environmental sciences. Come to Costa Rica and you won’t have to look far for good food. 在海滩上享受冰凉新鲜的椰子，从街头小贩那里买来时当场切开. You can drink the juice or eat the fruit flesh right out of the shell. Try pairing your pipa fria with Costa Rican ceviche, 一种传统的海鲜菜肴，在拉丁美洲以不同的形式供应. Costa Rica, like many other Central and South American countries, 提供你在国内找不到的异国水果:marañón(腰果), passionfruit, pitaya (dragonfruit), and guanábana (soursop) to name a few. 在当地的露天市场买一些，那里是和当地人练习西班牙语的好地方. 花一个下午的时间在当地的咖啡馆里，一边喝着世界闻名的哥斯达黎加咖啡，一边和一位新朋友聊天. When it’s dinner time, 挖掘到一个美味的卡萨多盘体验传统的哥斯达黎加餐, preferably shared with your host family at your homestay.
