Costa Rica: Geography

Costa Rica is coastal plain separated by craggy mountains, the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera da Talamanca. These form the backbone of Costa Rica and separate its almost equally-long Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. There are as many natural features as you could wish for – waterfalls, volcanoes and beaches amongst them. It has a tropical and subtropical climate, as well as unique mini-climates on the coastlines.
