The Best Places to Meet Single Women in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a country in Central America that is covered by rainforest and bordered by both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. This is a great place to live for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or wildlife. The majority of residents, about seventy percent, have European ancestry, although there are also many residents with African and Asian roots. Some of the largest groups of immigrants come from Nicaragua and Columbia. The thriving capital of this country is San Jose, and that may be the best place to start looking if you are hoping to meet single women in your area.
