About the country
Costa Rica spans the narrow Central American isthmus between Nicaragua and Panama, with coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. A chain of volcanoes, including the steep cone of Arenal, runs through its center, and its misty cloud forests shelter the resplendent quetzal. Offshore, remote Cocos Island draws divers with its schools of hammerhead sharks. The country is known for its coffee, its brightly painted oxcarts, and the stone spheres carved by pre-Columbian peoples.
