Id agree with the 2 personalities mentioned in the other answers:

1. Oscar Arias-Nobel prize winner
2. Franklin Chang-NASA astronaut

I would add:

3. Claudia Poll-Gold medal at Olimpics (swimmer)

pink (the singer) came here and got married in the golfo de papagayo in the hotel four seasons and i was in the hotel in front of hers! and calvin ayre, this canadian billionaire lives really close to my house. then robin williams was in Nosara(a really pretty beach) in a yoga institute and i saw him at a restaurant called "la dolce vita". also the guy from laguna beach, jason, came here. the soccer player ronaldo fonseca sold us his car(a jeep)

I know one footballer called Paulo Wanchope- he plays for the national team.

Hi,

Oscar Arias, the current president, is a Nobel Peace Prize Recipient. That makes him famous in my book.

I would not think that just because someone visits Costa Rica makes them "associated" with the country. You gotta do more than that! Come on, if that were the case there would be way too many "famous" people "associated" with CR.

MrRock
There is an astronaut working for NASA but i don't remember his name.


carlosguardia
Jorge Strunz (famous acoustic guitar player from Strunz and Farah)
Maribel Guardia (famous actress)
Franklin Chang Diaz (astronaut for NASA)
Paulo Cesar Wanchope (famous football star)
Jimenez Deredia (world renowed sculptor)
Cristina Fournier (famous painter)
these are just a few that I can think of right now...
