Democracy and Tranquility: Embracing the Monteverde Lifestyle
In the heart of Monteverde, where the misty mountaintop unveils a picturesque morning, and a tight-knit community thrives, there's more than just stunning landscapes and
friendly neighbors. This enchanting paradise in Costa Rica embraces democracy, human rights, and a unique serenity that sets it apart.
Costa Rica's commitment to democracy is evident through the Supreme Council of Elections or the Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones, responsible for safeguarding the democratic process. Recently, Monteverde was chosen to host an exposition on the history of democracy in the country. The event emphasized not only the
importance of active participation but also the responsibility of ensuring the continuity of this precious democratic legacy.
Enshrined in the Costa Rican constitution since 1949, Article 12 stands as a beacon of peace by forbidding a standing army, and fostering a nation that values education, healthcare, and employment rights. While perfection remains elusive, the constitutional guarantee of these human rights is a cornerstone of Costa Rican
society.
