About Costa Rica
For my friends that are unaware of Costa Rican geography, Costa Rica is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east and Ecuador to the south.
Costa Rica was sparsely inhabitated by indigenous people before it came under Spanish rule in the 16th century. Once a poor and isolated colony since becoming independent in the 18th century, Costa Rica has become one of the most stable, prosperous and progressive nations in Latin America.
Costa Rica is home to a rich variety of plants and animals. While the country has only about .1% of the world's landmass, it contains 5% of the world's biodiversity. Around 25% of the country's landmass is in protected national parks and protected areas. If you ever visit Costa Rica, this means that you may have visuals of nature that not many people ever have the opportunity of experiencing. It is worth a trip to Costa Rica at some point during your life.
