Costa Rica, Nice!

Posted by ivan_cr | 17th January 2007

In this page you’ll find information you should find helpful on your travels in Costa Rica and I’ll also explain a little about we “ticos” as we’re affectionately known throughout Central America.

The words Tico (masculine) and Tica (feminine) identify us as Costa Ricans. According to legend it was the Nicaraguans who gave us this nickname after hearing us use the “tico” suffix so commonly in our speech. Added to the end of most adjectives (poquitico, chiquitico, pequeñitico) it adds extra emphasis to the significance of the word.

Costa Rica is the name that Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón in Spanish) gave to this region on his fourth voyage to the Americas. Amazed by the natural beauty of our Caribbean coast, he decided to call the area Rich Coast (Costa Rica in Spanish)

The national currency is called The Colón (¢), in honor of Cristóbal Colón. For decades the currency has experienced mini – devaluations every day against the U.S. Dollar.
