Costa Rica Geography
The eclectic nature of Costa Rica geography is renowned worldwide. The tiny country covers roughly 51,000 square kilometers and boasts over 1200km of coastline on two oceans. Snugly tucked between Nicaragua and Panama, Costa Rica boasts eight separate ecological zones and over 500,000 species of wildlife; no mean feat for a country smaller than West Virginia. The Republic of Costa Rica is divided roughly down the middle by an impressive mountain range which culminates in Cerro Chirripo at 3810m. The Atlantic side of the mountains is much wetter and slightly colder than its Pacific counterpart and is the home of lush tropical rainforests. The country is occasionally beset by earthquakes and Atlantic hurricanes and often experiences lowland flooding on the East coast during the onset of the rainy season. The Costa Rican railway is narrow-gauge and covers a mere 950 kilometers. There are nearly 40,000km of roads throughout the country but 80% of them are unpaved. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a necessity if you plan to do any amount of driving. There are also 155 airports but again, 80% do not have paved runways and cater only to small planes.

Costa Rica with its 51100 km² and coastline bordering the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, is bounded to north by the Republic of Nicaragua and to the south by the Republic of Panama. The country has three mountain chains: the Central Volcanic Cordillera, the Talamanca Cordillera and the Guanacaste Cordillera. With the exception of the Intermountain Central Valley, the rest of the country comprises large plains situated in the north, north-west and south-west. The country is divided into seven provinces, in turn into cantons and districts. Most of the few Costa Rica islands are situated in the Gulf of Nicoya above the Pacific Ocean. Of them, mention should be made of the island of Chira, an old native settlement which today has few scattered townships of farmers and stockbreeders. There also the Cocos Island, lying some 500 km off the coastline in the Pacific Ocean. The island is the furthermost possession of the country and today it has been declared a National Park. Even today, it provides inspiration for many legends concerning priceless treasures buried there many centuries ago, when plundered the Spanish colonies. The Inter-American highway, built during World War II with the cooperation of the United States, crosses the country from north to south, thus linking it to the rest of the continent.

Travel is an important way to learn. Living somewhere different is guaranteed to push you out of your ruts. But take the time to figure out what you really want before you buy the RV or put the for sale sign on your current home. Make sure you want to experience doing whatever you are going to do at that location before you commit to an expensive trip. You can zip line many different places. Is it important that you do it in Costa Rica? If so, fine. But at least ask yourself the question. * What about this location makes me want to spend the time, money, and energy to be there? * Is this location the best way to get that? * Is there any way to try this on a small scale before I commit to it in a major way? Do I need that? Geography: Central America

National Parks Geography of Costa Rica T he country is divided by a backbone of volcanoes and mountains, an extension of the Andes-Sierra Madre chain which runs along the western side of the Americas. Costa Rica has four distinct cordilleras or mountain ranges Guanacaste and Tilaran in the north, Central and Talamanca in the south. Costa Rica is part of the Pacific "Rim of Fire" and has seven of the isthmus's 42 active volcanoes plus dozens of dormant or extinct cones. Earth tremors and small quakes shake the country from time to time. The last major quake hit on April 22, 1991. Centered on the Caribbean side southeast of San Jose, it measured 7.4 on the Richter scale. The country's highest point is Mt. Chirripo (3,797 meters). The capital, San Jose, and the neighboring major cities of Alajuela and Heredie lies in the middle of the Meseta Central (Central Valley). Almost two-thirds of the nation's population live in this small, fertile valley. The Pacific coastal plain is much narrower than its Caribbean counterpart. Both coasts are lined with white and black sand beaches.

    Costa Rica, meaning "rich coast" in Spanish, has a land area of 51,100 square kilometers and is slightly smaller than Switzerland, a country with which it is often compared. Its 3.5 million inhabitants (an average population density of 67 people per square kilometer) are ethnically homogenous but live in a country that varies greatly from one area to another. In the north the Rio San Juan forms most of the 300-kilometer-long border to Nicaragua. The border to the south and southeast separates Costa Rica from Panama. The vast La Amistad National Park is shared by the two countries and spreads out on both sides of the border. The 200-kilometer-long Caribbean coast is to the east and the 1,000-kilometerlong Pacific coast is to the west. Topography Costa Rica can be divided into three major topographic areas: The Cordilleras (mountain chains), which are of volcanic origin, the alluvial Caribbean Lowland Plains and the hilly Pacific Region. The Cordilleras The Cordilleras run from the northwest to the southeast of the country and consist of four mountain chains. The Cordillera de Guanacaste stretches from the Nicaraguan border to Lake Arenal. The Tenorio (1,916 m), Rincon de la Vieja (1,096 m), Orosi (1,487 m) and Arenal (1,633 m) volcanoes make up the vertebrae of its spinal column. The Cordillera de Tilaran includes the cloud forest preserve of Monteverde, and reaches heights of up to 1,500 meters. The 70kilometer-long Cordillera Central rises to its highest altitude at the inactive Pods volcano (2,704 m), and contains other dormant volcanoes. Costa Rica's four major cities: San Jose, Alajuela, Cartago and Heredia are situated between 1,000 and 1,500 meters altitude in the part of the Cordillera Central known as the Meseta Central (Central Plateau).

    The Natural Environment
    Regions
    Meseta Central
    The climate in this region is consistently pleasant. The average temperature is approximately 74F (23C) throughout the year, and the skies are rarely overcast. Moderate yet dependable rainfall ensures that the nutrient-packed volcanic soil is ideal for farming. The Meseta Central is the agricultural center of the country; crops of strawberry, coffee and sugarcane are common, as well as dairy farms and horticulture farms. Above that, lush forests offer homes to a wide range of wild animals and plants.
    Pacific Northwest
    Located in lowland Guanacaste, this region receives the least amount of annual precipitation; less than 20 inches (50cm) of rain per year. The terrain features stretching, golden savannas; plots of rare dry forests that colorfully bloom throughout the year; dusty, old cowboy towns; and white-sand beaches along the coastal fringe of the peninsula they call Nicoya. In recent years, the latter has been inundated with five-star resorts and golf courses.
    Pacific Southwest
    Talamanca Massif
    The Caribbean coast runs south from Barra del Colorado all the way to the Panama border. Bordering the gray-sand beaches along the shore, the Talamancas stand high in the distance. Compared to the Pacific coast, the remote Caribbean shoreline possesses few towns of interest. Puerto Limon, Costa Rica's bustling east coast port city, is a common destination for tourists, as are the villages of Cahuita and Puerto Viejo.

    Geography of Costa Rica
    Central Highlands Caribbean Coast The warm waters of the Caribbean are home to mangroves, swamps and sandy beaches. Many rivers that flow down the mountains filter out to the Caribbean Sea and the openings to the Sea are full of marine life, including hungry crocodiles! The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is 212km (131mi) long. Puerto Limon is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region and there are some very well-know surf breaks. Pacific Coast The Pacific coast is much more rugged and rocky. Thanks to a number of gulfs and peninsulas, the coastline is also much longer at 1016km (630mi) long. The west coast of Costa Rica is dotted with world-famous surf spots and national parks. Some of the better known spots are Playa Tamarindo and Parque Nacional Santa Rosa in the north and Parque Nacional Corcovado in the south. Tropical Forest Costa Rica's tropical forests have over 1400 tree species and provide a variety of habitats for the country's fauna including numerous types of monkeys, sloth, armadillos, jaguars and tapirs. There are also a number of breathtaking butterflies. National parks cover almost 12% of the country. Combined with rainforest reserves and Indian reservations, about 27% of Costa Rica is protected land. The tropical forests of Costa Rica include rainforests and dry forests, each with its own unique flora and fauna.

    Geography in Costa Rica
    Edit This Costa Rica is situated to the south on the Central American land bridge between Nicaragua and Panama. It is roughly the size of the state of West Virginia, or roughly a bit larger than the county of Los Angeles . At it’s widest point it is not quite 170 miles and at it’s narrowest just under 80 miles. The country contains a mountain range that stretches from the northwest border of Nicaragua all the way down the center and on into Panama . At it’s highest point, Mount Chirripo, it reaches up to nearly 13,000 feet. The Central Plateau sits right in the middle of the country at a height of about 3,200 feet. On the Pacific side there are two prominent peninsulas. The larger and northern of the two is Nicoya with a large gulf of the same name. The Osa Peninsula is south, almost on the border of Panama, and also has a gulf but it’s name is Dulce. An interesting geographical feature of the Gulfo Dulce is that at its farthest point from the ocean it drops straight down over 750 feet. It is one of the few places on earth that you find the really jumbo shrimp. On the Carribean side, the northern area of Tortuguero is basically a big, lowland jungle with canals and waterways snaking their way throughout.

    Costa Rica Geography: A Land of Contrasts
    Costa Rica geography reflects one of the basic facts about the country as a whole: it is a land of contrasts. Costa Rica is a country of beautiful beaches in the east and west, of rugged isolated beauty in the Southwest, of lush rolling rainforest throughout the interior and of towering volcanoes rising out from the jungle.
    In order to understand these seemingly contradictory geographical features, however, it is important to know exactly where Costa Rica is in relation to the rest of the world. To begin with, Costa Rica is located in Central America to the south of Nicaragua and to the north of Panama. In the east, it borders the Caribbean Sea. In the west, it faces the North Pacific Ocean.
    Within these boundaries, Costa Rica rises from Sea Level on both coasts to its highest peak, Cerro Chirripo, which is 3,810 meters above sea level. Along the way, Costa Rica presents a dizzying array of ecological diversity that has made it a world-wide destination for eco-tourism of all types. No wonder I extended my three-month visit to a stay of one year, eh?
    Costa Rica Geography: Facts and Figures
    In total, Costa Rica geography covers 51,110 square kilometers. Of these, 50,660 are over land with an additional 440 being over water. To put this into perspective, Costa Rica is slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia.

    Costa Rica Geography
    Costa Rica is a small country located in Central America. Costa Rica is by Nicaragua on the North and the Caribbean Sea and Panama on the East. On the South and West of Costa Rica is the Pacific Ocean. The largest city in Costa Rica is the capital San Jose, which neighbors the cities of Alajuela and Heredie and lies in the middle of the Meseta Central, or Central Valley, where approximately 75% of Costa Ricans reside. Costa Rica is separated by an extension of the Andes-Sierra Madre chain of volcanoes and mountains that run along the Western side of the Americas. Costa Rica has four separate mountain ranges, including Guanacaste and Tilaran located in the North and Central and Talamanca located in the South. And, the high mountain ranges (cordilleras) cross central Costa Rica from Northwest to Southeast. The cordilleras divide Costa Rica into 3 regions: the Central Highlands, the Carribean Lowlands, and the Pacific Coastal Strip. Costa Ricafs Central Highlands are two large areas with very fertile farmland called the Central Plateau, or the Meseta Central, and the Valley of the General, or the Valle del General. Approximately 75% of Costa Ricans reside in the Meseta Central valley and is considered Costa Ricafs heartland. The Meseta Central is also Costa Ricafs chief coffee-growing region, with its rich volcanic soil and great climate. Costa Ricafs Caribbean Lowlands are swampy tropical jungles that lie along the East coast. And, Costa Ricafs Pacific Coastal Strip is a large area of lowlands that run along the West coast and contain low mountains that rise along the shore.
