Manifesto
Natural Intelligence
This is not just any letter.
An entire country writes to you, one that dared to dream differently and ended up becoming a reference for the world. We are not here to lecture you, but to share what makes us unique: Natural Intelligence, our way of understanding the world, of deeply connecting with nature, and of facing challenges with our own essence.
Intelligence is charting our own path.
That’s why, while many are dazzled by lights and screens, in Costa Rica, we naturally lose ourselves in the whispers of the forest and the songs of our rivers. Here, peace is not just a word; it’s a tradition. Our democracy stands as an example because dialogue and respect are the foundation of the progress you enjoy.
Intelligence is taking care of what gives us life.
Here, we naturally love and respect the flora and fauna. Even though we don’t have an army, we become soldiers when it comes to protecting our biodiversity that astonishes the world.
Intelligence is thinking about the future.
And it’s natural here, as we lead by being sustainable, committed to climate change, and thinking of the smiles of generations yet to be born.
Intelligence is valuing the children of this land.
In Costa Rica, our greatest treasure is its people: passionate, hardworking, and naturally united. Many came for tourism or business and stayed because of the unique way its people live and think.
Intelligence is learning from our past and looking hopefully towards the future.
You’ll naturally see brave decision-making, purpose-driven businesses, and an unwavering love for this land and its people.
It's time to say goodbye,
but always remember that we who write to you are handing over a better planet. Now, the responsibility falls on you to pass on to future generations this unique and unmatched way of thinking that sets us apart: our Natural Intelligence.
With all our love and hope,
essential COSTA RICA
