Costa Rica Travel Guide - TravelandLeisure

Named the rich coast by Spanish conquistadors who first made landfall here in 1502, Costa Rica is one of the planet's most naturally splendid and biologically diverse regions. Though largely undeveloped until the mid-20th century (due to its lack of traditional riches-gold, silver, spices), the country is today drawing new generations of explorers with more lasting treasures: smoldering volcanoes, misty cloud forests, rare wildlife and bird species, and a surfeit of beaches that are the gateway to world-class surfing, diving, and sportfishing.
