Tucked between the Pacific and Caribbean seas is Costa Rica.
This country - with its freshwater canals, coral coastlines and dense forests - boasts a unique geographic profile.
To its north is Nicaragua and the border is shaped by lush mountains and volcanic soil. To its south is Panama, with white sand beaches and rocky trails. And scattered in between are tiny isles and inlets, carved into the Pacific and Caribbean coastlines and offering unspoiled beauty.
This Central American country, comprised of only 50,660 square miles, is easy to miss on a map. Its striking landscapes, however, make it impossible to deny.
