Costa Rica is Central America's gem - an
ecological gem of a holiday destination. Costa Rica is virtually
covered in rainforest. Hike, cycle or horseback ride through jungles
to experience the wild life.
Costa Rica has a magnificent
coastline of sandy beaches and an enviably warm climate. Highlights
include Monteverde, a wonderful cloud forest, and the active volcano
at Arenal as well as Tortugeuro National Park, which protects over 350
species of birds and mammals.
Arenal is Costa Rica's most
famous active volcano sending out huge ash columns and glowing
red lava almost every day! There are many volcanic areas to visit but
make sure to watch out for the bubbling mud pools! Monteverde is a
wonderful cloud forest.
Covering about 51,000 sq km the same as
Switzerland, Costa Rica is the third smallest of the seven Central
American countries. It is bounded in the north by Nicaragua and in
the south by Panama, with the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific
Ocean to the west.
The country's mountain ranges have several
volcanoes, some of them still active. The high plateau in the middle
of the mountains, the Meseta Central,has a temperate climate and is
ideal for coffee growing. Most of the population live here. At the
heart of the plateau is the capital San Jose.
Costa Rica is a haven of peace and beauty on
the Central American map and is the only country in the world to
have scrapped its army.
