Costa Rica, known for its peaceful image and eco-tourism, has become a crucial transit hub in the global narcotics trade due to its strategic location between drug-producing nations in South America and major markets in North America and Europe. With over 800 miles of coastline, the country has become a key point for drug smuggling by cartels, particularly the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels, which have also fueled rising violence and corruption within the nation. The influx of drug money has led to increased money laundering, particularly through tourism, real estate, and legitimate businesses. Despite efforts to combat trafficking through international cooperation and enhanced law enforcement, Costa Rica's future remains precarious as the nation struggles with mounting cartel influence, violence, and institutional corruption, threatening its identity as a stable, peaceful democracy.
