Living in Costa Rica is really peaceful at the most part of it. But there are some instances, all over the world, were people try to do bad things to other people.
The increased number of incidents of robbery and other crimes in the country called the attention of the authorities.
Safety is always the priority and we hope your stay in Costa Rica will totally safe.
I have been reading so much about this country as I plan to take a vacation here. This is a very helpful site which answers most of my questions same goes with Costa Rica HQ.
Blaming the crime epidemic on the influx of American wealth by so many is just not fair.
For this crime to be happening, the intent and ability/desire to commit crime was always there, the targets were just not juicy enough. I'm sorry it's no excuse for the behavior of the locals. We just experienced a scary robbery and will tell all not to visit until the government starts to address this huge problem. Tourism will continue to suffer...and, with the US economy and real estate markets struggling, it will hurt all future development in CR for some time. The property agents all say the market is totally dead now.
