Costa Rica is located in Central America and boasts of a population of over 5 million. The literacy rate in Costa Rica is approximately 97 percent, due in part to the fact that the country is a popular tourist destination. Millions of tourists visit Costa Rica every year, which generates an extraordinary amount of revenue for a country that is economically stable and holds one of the highest standards of living in Central America. Catholicism is the leading religion, as it is listed as the official state religion according to the country’s constitution. However, freedom of religion is also guaranteed by the constitution, which allows many different religions to grow.
