CENTRAL AMERICA

Costa Rica

Details

Long controlled by Spain, Costa Rica gained its independence in 1821, and became a true Central America success story.

Driven by agricultural products (especially coffee), and strong technology and tourism industries, Costa Rica has a high standard of living, especially when compared to other nearby countries.

Dominated by mountains ranges replete with volcanoes, the country has suffered through its share of eruptions, as well as devastating earthquakes.

Costa Rica is a stunning land, with much of it heavily forested. The coastal areas are ringed with mangrove swamps, and beautiful white, sand beaches.

The overall climate is generally hot and rainy, with moderating conditions in the higher elevations.
