When we asked people about diversity in Costa Rica and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Folks here are very diverse, you feel like you've found you home once you arrive," remarked another expat in Montezuma, Costa Rica.

"Yes, Costa Rica is a country with diverse cultures and ethnicities. People from all around the world have come to Costa Rica in search of a better life and personal freedom, making Costa Rica a country dripping with culture, history and vibrant flavors. Despite the diversity, Costa Ricans are generally accepting and respectful of differences. The country has a rich culture that is built upon respect for the individual; each person is celebrated for their unique perspectives, experiences and convictions," said a member in Costa Rica.
