Location: Costa Rica lies in Central America, between Nicaragua and Panama. The Pacific Ocean lies on the west (left), and the Caribbean Sea on the east (right). Costa Rica is a bit smaller than our state of West Virginia.
The Land: Three mountain ranges stretch across Costa Rica, and there are active volcanoes! People enjoy the white, sandy beaches. More than half of the land is covered with thick forests, where monkeys, sloths, jaguars, bright birds, and colorful tree frogs make their homes.
Weather: In the lowlands, along the coasts, it’s hot and humid. In the highlands, where most people live, the weather is pleasant. It gets very hot in March through May, then cools off as the rainy season begins. The rains and lots of sunshine make the land green.
Capital City: San José (population 1.5 million)
Population: 4.3 million
Main People Groups: White and mestizo (mixed Amerindian and white—94%), black (3%), Chinese (1%), Amerindian (1%), other (1%)
Languages: Spanish (official), English, Creole dialect of English
Religions: Roman Catholic (76%), Protestant (16%), other (5%), no religion (3%)
Assemblies of God Facts: Fifteen U.S. Assemblies of God missionaries work in Costa Rica. More than 143,000 people worship in 708 Assemblies of God churches around the country. Bible schools and other training programs are teaching more workers.
