What You’ll Learn About Costa Rica From Hollywood
Here’s a quick summary of what Costa Rica is like, from a few Hollywood movies:
Costa Rica is a republic in Central America, covered in jungle and forest, and sparsely populated. Its capital, San Jose, is a sleepy beach town on the Pacific coast. The nation is ruled by a military junta, whose leader is dictator General Sanchez. The local currency is the Costa Rican peso. Because of its lawlessness and remote location, Costa Rica is known as a hideout for reformed mafia members as well as a source of cheap prostitutes, who charge five pesos for full service. Dinosaurs and even alien predator species have been sighted within its jungle and coastal islands.
