Costa Rica + this website

Costa Rica extends majestically from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, and its distance is barely 200 miles. Its land portion occupies only 20,000 square miles.

If you travel throughout the provinces of Costa Rica, it’s easy to notice that in no other place you shall find fields with so many variations in their landscape and climate as here.

Costa Rica is one of most highly valued tourist destinations in this planet. This small piece of land includes all of the necessary components to satisfy the taste of thousands of travelers visiting each year.

Costa Rica’s territorial division includes 7 provinces, which are: San José, Alajuela, Cartago, Heredia, Guanacaste, Puntarenas, and Limón. Together they offer an attractive tourist destination, of almost limitless possibilities, that include extensive rainforests, volcanoes, rivers traveling through the mountains, beaches and natural resources safeguarded by an important organization of national parks and forest reserves.

About Costa Rica (more)

This website is about Costa Rica travel and vacation information. We have been there and had a wonderful time. It is a very diverse country. Very small country with huge numbers of animals and unusual plants.


People are friendly – but watch for beggers, hawkers, sharks (all types!) and thieves. If you keep your guard up when in public places you won’t have any problems. If you have any questions, just post a comment anywhere on this website. Thanks and enjoy your trip to the grand country of Costa Rica!
