Costa Rica is a relatively small country, half the size of the state of Kentucky, with a permanent spring climate - 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 C). If you love nature, Costa Rica is a place with 20% of the territory made up of forest reserves, dozens of national reserves, parks, rain forests, white sanded and secluded beaches on two oceans and active volcanoes. It contains close to a thousand species of birds, hundred of mammals, and over ten thousand species of plants. The people of Costa Rica are called "Ticos" and are among the most friendly people in the world, very polite, and social. Although, San Jose is a large, densely populated city;it is just a short distance from beaches, volcanoes, rain forests & national parks.
