Costa Rica Caribbean Coast

Costa Rica Caribbean Coast

The fascinating afro-caribbean culture (mainly a combination of Jamaican, Italian and Chinese immigrants), predominates in this region and fills the atmosphere with fragrances, tropical rhythms and brilliant colors, which mixes with the daily work of many of the inhabitants on the banana plantations and the ports of Limón and Moín.

It is the region of most rainfall in the country and this factor, combined with high temperatures, makes the evaporation and humidity quite high throughout the year. The extensive plains are washed by the Pacuare, Estrella, Reventazón and Parismina rivers, which join in some sectors with the Tortuguero canals, of great importance for their scenic beauty and as a site of refuge for the marine turtles to lay their eggs.

The whole region portrays an important economic growth due to its agriculture production and the surge of tourism, mainly in Sarapiquí, San Carlos (famous for the Arenal Volcano), and San Ramón. Each of these places offers special qualities that differentiate them and put them in a privileged position in the country.

Monteverde

Monteverde

The town of Monteverde, located at the south end of the cloud forest, had its beginnings in the early 1950s with the impetus of a group of Quakers from the United States, a group that came to Costa Rica attracted by its pacific inclinations and disarmament. They established themselves in the region and devoted themselves to produce milk and quality cheeses.

The "Bosque Nuboso" (Cloud Forest) Biological Reserve is recognized throughout the world for the golden toad, a species in danger of extinction. This wildlife area has been created to protect the flora and fauna, as well as to carry out scientific studies and educational environmental programs.
