McDonald’s, KFC, Quiznos, Taco Bell and Wendy’s are going to open 29 restaurants this year. Costa Rica is prospering despite the world economic crisis. Furthermore, the government just announced that long-awaited highway to the Central Pacific will be inaugurated next week, four months ahead of schedule. People who have driven on the part of the highway that is completed say it is as nice as any highway in the U.S.

As you can see from the above Costa Rica continues to move forward and improve its infrastructure making it a good place to invest. Baby Boomers and retirees should feel perfectly safe buying property here.
