Costa Rica is very beautiful and exotic, but it also has its down side. Costa Rica's current crime rate has increased in the past year alone, the homicide rate went from 11.7 percent to a whopping 17.2 percent. The rate of trafficking and gang clashes over drugs have increased in the pasted two years to about 36 percent, and many other lager crimes that have lager percentages. Most of the crime takes places in the capital of costa, San Jose and this is where most of the crimes i've explained taken place. This is just the social advents, Costa Rica still is in threat when it comes to weather problems, finically issues and more.

Ive been talking about how unqie and exotic Costa Rica is, from the traditions and culter, to the food and music, the sights, smells and sounds, there is so much charater to the country. Getting to learn about costa rica was very exciding every step of the way, Costa Rica is an incredible country with so much love to it. The beauiful rainforests, sparkely clear beachs, diversed wildlife and so much more, makes this country, well its country. If I had to pick my fav part about this project, it would problay be the outdoor life. when I say that I mean, the beauiful beaches, all the exotic trails and all the animales. If I had the chance to visit Costa Rica, I would probalay go to there phenomenal beaches and play mermaids. I think everyone should atleast visit costa rica once in their life or atleast do your own resreach about the place and find out if it's a place you would go see.
