December 1 – Costa Rica’s Historic Day of Peace ✨
¡Que viva siempre el trabajo y la paz!!
On December 1st, Costa Rica celebrates one of the most meaningful moments in its history: the abolition of the army in 1948.
Costa Rica became the first country in the world to eliminate its military and invest instead in education, health, and peace.
Today, this decision continues to shape the nation’s identity—
a country known for stability, democracy, and “Pura Vida” values.
🌿 A nation without an army, but rich in culture, nature, and human warmth.
