About Costa Rica

Biodiversity
The condition of biological bridge between two continents, it's twelve ecological zones, which vary from dry forests to dripping rain forests, from white sand beaches to Caribbean wet lands, with mountains and volcanoes in between, contains 5 percent of all the plant and animal species known to humankind.

Weather
The trade winds are almost constantly blowing from Atlantic Ocean, carrying enormous amounts of clouds, once they reach the country they literally engulf the forests in the highlands producing a constant rain, this is why the Caribbean slope doesn't have a well defined dry season. Once the winds have crossed the mountain ranges, they become dry, producing in the pacific slope, the opposite condition, a well-defined dry season, 6 months in the north pacific, and more or less 4 months in the south pacific.
