Costa Rica Internet Portal

Costa Rica is a country located In central America, between Nicaragua and Panama, Nicaragua to the north

and Panama to the South, at the West the Pacific ocean and to the East the Atlantic Ocean, it's Rather small

51.100km2 To have some idea of what that means the whole country can be fitted about 3 times in the florida

panhandle, yes it is that small, there are some some mountains in it where you can actually see both oceans at

the same time !, Politically it's divided in 7 provinces, San José, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago, Puntarenas, Guanacaste

and Limón, being San José the capital, downtown San José, or San José City, Is just a normal town, for a third

world country, do not confuse this with, the idea that people have that you can see mules or horses on a daily

basis around downtown, cause this is not the case, the buildings are not very tall, and everything is like other places

we have, huge potholes on the streets, but that's another story.

It's kinda fun to live here you are always about one hour from a beach, so sometimes, young people, ( even

the ones that live downtown ) , go every weekend to the beach, so surf jetskiing and other watersports are

very popular.

Here People, work hard during the week, and party harder weekends, there's a problem thou, a lot of

people Drink and Drive, so Be Carefull !
