class="col-sm-12 "><div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Why Costa Rica?</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even though Costa Rica is a small country, it has great biological and habitat diversity due to the convergence of two hemispheres, two oceans, and its varying geography. This creates wonderful changing views for travelers. There is a chain of mountains that forms a back- bone down the length of Costa Rica.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Itstarts in the north with the Guanacaste “Cordillera” (mountain range), continues with the Tilaran Cordillera (location of Monteverde and Arenal), the Central Cordillera (Irazu, Poas, Braulio Carrillo), and finishes with the southern Talamanca Cordillera (the highest in the country).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">While the Pacific coastline is almost 780 miles (1,254 km), the Caribbean is only 132 miles (212 km). Hilly peninsulas are settled in the Pacific coast. There are two large gulfs, and many small coves and bays. Two major commercial ports are located in the Pacific: Puntarenas and Puerto Caldera. On the Caribbean, there is a natural harbor in the Moin – Limon area. It is the largest area of lowland plains (about one-fifth of Costa Rica), which stretches back from the northern coastline almost to Limon.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica lies in the tropics between 8 and 11 degrees north of the equator. You might expect moderate temperatures, but the rugged mountain chain’s creates many microclimates. Most people are surprised to learn that frost and ice can occur on some of the loftier peaks, such as Chirripo. Temperatures are somewhat higher on the Pacific side than on the Caribbean (at the same elevation) because there are more clouds on the Caribbean watershed year-round. At sea level on either side, the annual average is always above 75°F (24°C). Some of the highest peaks average 54°F (12°C), though temperatures there can fall below freezing.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There’s no spring or fall in Costa Rica. The seasons are called verano (summer) and invierno (winter), although they’re more likely to be a dry season (from December to April) and a rainy season (from May to November). Difference in daily temperatures averages 14°F to 18°F (8°C to 10°C). From November to January, there are cold breezes from the north funnel and through the mountains of North America, causing a little down in temperature. This is one of the few countries in the world in which polar air gets this close to the equator. The warmest months are Costa Rica NatureMarch, April, and May, and the wettest months are September and October. Rainfall amounts vary from less than 59 inches (1500mm) to more than 190 inches (4800mm) during these months. The country’s average rainfall pattern is in the range of 79 to 158 inches (2,000 to 4,000 mm). Precipitation can come in the form of a tropical downpour with impressive lightning and thunder (aguacero), steady rain, or the less common, a continuous light rain for several days (temporal).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even in the rainy season, rain will not fall during the whole day, every day. It usually begins in early afternoon in the Central Valley and other highland areas, but later in the afternoon in the Pacific lowlands. Each season has its own beauty and unique characteristics. In wetter times the flora is profuse, with a vibrant life that gets into the soul. In the dry season the background is perfect for orchids, bougainvilleas, reina de la noche (queen of the night), as well as for colorful trees that flower only then.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica can boast that it is the country with the highest percentage (25%) of its territory designated as protected areas: Forest Reserves, Biological Reserves, Nature Shelters, and of course, National Parks. These is another of the good reasons why many Europeans and North Americans, further than coming to travel, have made this land their home, being nowadays around 1% of the Costa Rican population.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Where is Costa Rica located?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica location</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica Location Next to El Salvador Costa Rica is one of the smallest republics on Central America , lying between latitudes 8°03’ & 11°13’North latitude, & longitudes 82° 32’and 86°West. It borders with the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, it has a total of 1,290 kilometersof coastline, 212 kilometers (132 mi) on the Atlantic coast and 1,016 kilometers (631 mi) on the Pacific Coast. The pacific coast presents a series of irregularities like peninsulas, gulfs and bays. This circumstance facilitates the establishment of harbor zones and tourist development. On the other side, the coast of the Caribbean is regular, but inappropriate for this type of facilities.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica borders Nicaragua to the north with a total of 302 kilometers of border line and it borders with Panama to the southeast. Its south boarder measures 639 kilometers. The total area of this Central American country is 51,100 square kilometers (approximately 19,700 square miles). The territorial waters of Costa Rica measure a total of 589 square kilometers.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica is a mountainous country with many beautiful volcanoes and mountain ranges. Chirripo or Cerro Chirripo is its highest point with an elevation of 3,819 meters (12,530 feet) above sea level. Chirripo is the fifth highest mountain in Central America. Irazu Volcano is the highest volcano in Costa Rica with an elevation of 3,430 meters (11,257 feet) above sea level.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica also has several Islands. CocosIsland is a paradise of sea nature wonders and is located approximately 300 miles from the main land of the port of Puntarenas.CocosIsland has an area of 24 square kilometers. The largest island of Costa Rica is Isla Calero with an area of 151.6 square kilometers. Costa Rica is also known for the protection of its natural resources with more than 20% of its territory being part of its protected area system.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Since its origins as an isthmus territory, it has been a biological bridge where species of flora and fauna coexist. They belong to the NeArctic, the Neotropic and some of the West Indies regions. Due to this biodiversity some life zones have existed, including coastal landscapes at the sea level and also some desert landscapes on the 3,000 altitude meters.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The biodiversity allows the country to have an internal study of about 360 different species of reptiles and amphibious (150 amphibians and 210 reptiles), approximately 850 species of birds (625 nest and 225 are migratory), more than 205 species of mammals, including bats and other non- flying mammals.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This amazing country is the perfect getaway for those that want to relax close to nature.

Within this diminutive nation is found an astonishing five percent of the world’s biodiversity, including more than 800 species of ferns, 1,000 of orchids, 2,000 kinds of trees, and 200 species of mammals.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Both coastlines of Costa Rica have an abundance of beaches, though the Pacific strands are generally both less developed and less spacious. Between the coasts, the interior of the country is shaped by four cordilleras, or mountain ranges, which run from North to South. The capital, San Jose, rests roughly in the nation’s center, settled within a highland valley. Cascading down to the Caribbean from the central mountains are Costa Rica’s many great rivers, including the Reventazon. The Pacific side is marked by two broad peninsulas that hook out into the Pacific, the Nicoya and the Osa. It is a geographic curiosity that their shapes are almost identical, the Osa being a smaller rendition of the Nicoya.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">More Info about Geography…</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Climate</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica’s climate is renowned as an atmospheric treat. Mild subtropical conditions prevail year-round, and discomforting temperature extremes and prolonged periods of gray are practically nonexistent. Temperature varies mainly according to elevation, the higher the cooler. The brunt of the rainy season lasts from May through November, while a brief dry spell pays a visit from February to April. Costa Rica’s rain falls mainly on the Caribbean coast, giving the Pacific a much more arid climate.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Learn more about Costa Rica weather</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">National Parks</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Costa Rica has the largest percentage of protected areas in the world – about 20% of Costa Rica’s territory is constituted as National Park or Reserve.
