1 mission of Morocco in Costa Rica: Consulate of Morocco in San Jose, Costa Rica. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Carlos Abreu Mcdonough, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
Morocco is a unique and appealing destination for some Costa Ricans, given its rich cultural heritage, historical cities, and stunning landscapes. With around 600,000 Costa Ricans traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Morocco an intriguing option to explore.
Morocco is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranking 76th out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is less safe compared to Costa Rica, which ranks 56th. In terms of crime statistics, Morocco has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.9 per 100,000 people compared to Costa Rica's 11.4. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Morocco at 0.5 and Costa Rica at 2.2. When examining organized crime, Morocco scores better in terms of mafia presence (1.0) compared to Costa Rica (6.5), but has higher scores in areas like state crime (7.0) and human smuggling (6.5). Overall, while Morocco is relatively safe, tourists from Costa Rica should remain aware of their surroundings and take standard precautions while traveling.
