Costa Rica
Costa Rica occupies a narrow land bridge between the Pacific and the Caribbean, where cloud forests descend into dry coastal plains and active volcanoes rise through permanent mist. Biodiversity is the country's defining fact: roughly five percent of the world's species live here, packed into a territory smaller than West Virginia. Life moves at a measured pace, underpinned by a long tradition of political stability unusual in Central America.
About Costa Rica
Overview
Costa Rica sits in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south, with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. San José is the capital and largest city; Spanish is the official language and the Costa Rican colón is the currency. The population is largely Catholic, and the country abolished its military in 1948 — a point of quiet national pride.
