Happiest Country in the World

As mentioned in the New York Times recent article, Costa Rica is the happiest nation in the world.

“You think it’s a coincidence? Costa Rica is one of the very few countries to have abolished its army, and it’s also arguably the happiest nation on earth.” as Nicholas D. Kristof, a columnist for The Times since 2001, is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner mentioned in his article.

For example the Dutch sociologist on the basis of answers to surveys by Gallup and others, lists Costa Rica in the top spot out of 148 nations. Another approach is the “happy planet index” devised by the New Economics Foundation, a liberal think tank. This combines happiness and longevity but adjusts for environmental impact — such as the carbon that countries spew.

From the staff at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin we want to extend a warm invitation to visit Rincon de la Vieja National Park in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. There are direct flights from US  and Canada, as well as Europe. We want you to experience Costa Rica and why we are the Pura Vida country.

For reservations from US or Canada Call Toll Free 1-888-730-3840 or send us an email to info@guachipelin.com
