Las montañas ubicadas más al sureste están asociadas a la Cordillera de Talamanca, la cual es más alta, geologicamente más antiguas, más alejadas y más accidentada que las otras cordilleras. Aproximadamente, 16 picos separados entre si, exceden los 3,000 metros, siendo el más alto el Cero Chirripó (3,820 metros). Las diferentes altitudes juegan un papel importante para determinar las variantes geográficas, climáticas y ecológicas. El Valle Central En el centro de las tierras altas se encuentra la mesera central, la cual está rodeada por montañas (la Cordillera Central de norte a este, la Cordillera de Talamanca al sur). Es esta planicie, localizada entre los 1,000 y 1,500 metros sobre el nivel del mar, en la que se encuentran las cinco ciudades más grandes de Costa Rica, incluyendo San José, la ciudad capital. Alrededor de la mitad de la población vive en esta planicie de suelo volcánico fértil. La Costa Pacífica y Atlántica A ambos landos de las tierras altas centrales, descansan las tierras bajas de la costa, mismas que difieren grandemente una de la otra. La plana línea costera del Caribe tiene 212 kms de largo y se caracteriza por las copiosas lluvias todo el año, manglares, pantanos, canales a lo largo de la costa, playas arenosas y mareas bajas.

In order to do so, we will have to turn our room into the country. Our first step is to do the geography of the country. Tell students that they will be put in groups for this activity. Each group will receive a note card with a direction that they are to carry out as a group. When they are finished with their direction, they are to go back to to their seats and wait for the other groups. Give students 5 - 10 minutes and give extra assistance to groups as needed. When groups are finished, have each group present their direction and what they did to the room. Ask the group to explain their reasoning. As a group decide where the capital should go. Place the capital marker where the class decides where it should be.

    Extractions: Costa Rica is one of the oldest democracies in the Americas. The country has been noted for its friendliness and preoccupation with peace. Its policy of active neutrality has twice earned it the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1987 this prestigious award was presented to then-president of the Republic, Dr. Oscar Arias. The World Health Organization's "The World Health Report 1995" places Cost Rica third in life expectancy in the world, behind Japan and France and ahead of Great Britain and the U.S.; and with a per capita income about one tenth of the other four. The reason: Costa Rica's medical system ranks first in Latin America and near the U.S. and Canada as among the 20 best in the world according to the United Nations. Costa Rica has 500 resident bird species; four times as many as in the temperate forests of eastern U.S.; and there are over 8,000 plant species in Costa Rica ,whereas Great Britain has 1,433.

    Extractions: A range of active volcanoes runs through the center of the country, continuing north into Nicaragua. Much of the country was once covered with dense forests and jungles although most of this has been cut down to provide farmland. There has been a concerted effort to preserve what is left of the tropical forests by creating a national park system. Costa Rica is famous for its great diversity of tropical flora and fauna with more than 400,000 different species thought to exist there. The economy of Costa Rica has in the past been dependent on the production and export of bananas and coffee. While these agricultural products, including the production of sugarcane and beef, are still important to the economy, tourism, manufacturing and services have gained importance as the economy has diversified. Due in part to the political stability and the educated work force, foreign companies are investing in Costa Rica. However, Costa Rica still has serious development needs in both urban and rural areas.

    Extractions: Religion - More than 90 percent of Costa Ricans are Roman Catholic. Geography of Costa Rica T he country is divided by a backbone of volcanoes and mountains, an extension of the Andes-Sierra Madre chain which runs along the western side of the Americas. Costa Rica has four distinct cordilleras or mountain ranges Guanacaste and Tilaran in the north, Central and Talamanca in the south. Costa Rica is part of the Pacific "Rim of Fire" and has seven of the isthmus's 42 active volcanoes plus dozens of dormant or extinct cones. Earth tremors and small quakes shake the country from time to time. The last major quake hit on April 22, 1991. Centered on the Caribbean side southeast of San Jose, it measured 7.4 on the Richter scale. The country's highest point is Mt. Chirripo (3,797 meters). The capital, San Jose, and the neighboring major cities of Alajuela and Heredie lies in the middle of the Meseta Central (Central Valley). Almost two-thirds of the nation's population live in this small, fertile valley. The Pacific coastal plain is much narrower than its Caribbean counterpart. Both coasts are lined with white and black sand beaches.

    Extractions: Costa Rica is home to one of the oldest democracies in the Americas. The country has been noted for its friendliness and preoccupation with peace. Its policy of active neutrality has twice earned it the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1987 this prestigious award was presented to then-president of the Republic Dr. Oscar Arias. This, the fact that over a quarter of its territory enjoys protection in the ever-growing network of national parks and reserves, its continued dedication to environmental protection, and many other reasons answer why Costa Rica has repeatedly been referred to as the Switzerland of the Americas. CLIMATE Two recognized seasons; commonly called the Dry Season (December to April) and the Wet Season (May to November). We prefer to call the "wet" season the Green Season because the countryside comes alive like the springtime in temperate climates. The Atlantic coast has no well-defined dry season.
