it’s like costa rica on steroids
es como Costa Rica, pero a lo bestia


Explanation:
una probabilidad: ya que "on steroids" es una expresión muy slang, creo que "a lo bestia" podría ser un equivalente en este sentido. La expresión, como mínimo, es muy utilizada en España.
Otra propuesta: es como Costa Rica, pero corregido y aumentado.
PD Qué bello debe ser Perú!!!!
