Set between Nicaragua in the north and Panama in the south, the Caribbean Sea on the east coast and the Pacific Ocean on the west, Costa Rica is known as 'Switzerland of Central America' due to its comfortable life style, peaceful democracy (does not have an army) and natural beauty. Its progressive environmental policies have made Costa Rica the only country to meet all five criteria of environmental sustainability and in 2009 it was ranked the 'greenest country in the world'.
