“The country is on the Central time zone. They have a high quality, well educated labor pool. Staff retention rates are high. People have a great work ethic (to the point of typically working 48 hours a week). It’s a three to five hour flight from Dallas, Chicago or Miami. For November 2006, they’re planning a second fiber optic cable to the US, from Puntarenas to California, to provide redundancy to the two cables connecting Florida with Puerto Limon. They have a vigorous free trade zone “regime.” There are 319 direct flights to and from the US weekly.”

I lived in Costa Rica about 7 years ago. Ticos are wonderful people and it’s hard to beat the pura vida lifestyle.

If you have experience or more information on software development in Costa Rica, please let me know.
