Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a country that comprises 5% of the world's biodiversity within a small land mass.

The first natives in Costa Rica were hunters and gatherers, and the country served as an "Intermediate Region".

In 1502, Costa Rica was a colony of Spain when Christopher Colombus made a landfall. During this period, the country remained impoverished.

After 1869, the country established a democratic government on which the power was not only in one person but it was from everybody.


The cultivation of coffee, is one of the country's most important exports.

Spanish was the official language of Costa Rica.
