Why Costa Rica Is the Perfect Match for the LGBTQ Community
Costa Rica isn’t just paradise — it’s possibility. With marriage equality, anti-discrimination protections, and one of the most welcoming cultures in Latin America, Costa Rica has become a global model for inclusive living. Here, Pura Vida isn’t just a saying — it’s a way of life rooted in peace, respect, and connection. From the queer-friendly beaches of Manuel Antonio to the creative heart of San José and the lush retreats of Guanacaste, this is a country where LGBTQ travelers, expats, and families can live safely, love freely, and thrive authentically. Whether you’re visiting for a week or starting your next chapter, Costa Rica offers more than beauty — it offers belonging.
