Just like many countries in the world today, Costa Rica is a nation of great cultural and ethnic diversity. A plurality that has been legitimized in the Political Constitution. Immigrants from different latitudes and ethnic backgrounds arrived to the country shortly after it became a sovereign state and contributed to expand the multi-ethnic and cultural horizon of a colonial society largely based on indigenous, Spanish and African roots. In the same way, said immigrants from very different ontological positions and walks of life participated in the cultural, political and economic development of the country.
