CAR HIRE COSTA RICA COUNTRY INFO

Forming a bridge between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean, Costa Rica is also a buffer between less tranquil countries: Panama to the south and war-torn Nicaragua to the north. Costa Rica - the 'Rich Coast' - has a tradition of neutrality which its population enthusiastically support. The only cloud on its horizon is the risk of neighbouring conflicts spilling over its borders.



Much of the country consists of volcanic mountain chains, running north-we t to south-east, that reach their highest point at Chirripo (3820 m, 12 533ft). Over half of the 2.7 million people live in the Valle Central, a highland basin which was the first area settled by the Spanish in the 16th century. The rich volcanic soils of the upland areas are good for coffee growing and the slopes provide lush pastures for cattle.

Lowland swamps cover most of the two coasts; the Pacific coast is wetter and cooler than the Caribbean. The north-west region is partly savannah and partly lowland forest. Increasingly people arc settling along the river and mountain valleys. About four fifths of the country remains forested.
Costa Rica differs from its neighbours in that 80 per cent of the people are white and most of the rest mestizo (of mixed European and native Indian ancestry). When Europeans arrived in the 16th century they introduced diseases, including measles, to which the Indians had no resistance. Thousands died and they have never recovered their numbers.
Costa Rica was the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas commercially, which are still its major agricultural exports.
