Costa Rica (i/ˌkoʊstə ˈriːkə/; Spanish: [ˈkosta ˈrika]; literally meaning, "Rich Coast"), officially the Republic of Costa Rica (Spanish: República de Costa Rica), is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Ecuador to the south of Cocos Island. It has a population of around 4.5 million, of whom nearly a quarter live in the metropolitan area of the capital and largest city, San José.
Costa Rica was sparsely inhabited by indigenous people before coming under Spanish rule in the 16th century. It remained a peripheral colony of the empire until independence as part of the short-lived First Mexican Empire, followed by membership in the United Provinces of Central America, from which it formally declared sovereignty in 1847. Since then, Costa Rica has remained among the most stable, prosperous, and progressive nations in Latin America. Following a brief but bloody civil war, it permanently abolished its army in 1949, becoming the first of only a few sovereign nations without a standing army.
San José ("Saint Joseph", Spanish: San José, pronounced: [saŋ xoˈse]) is the capital of Costa Rica, head of the province of San José, and the nation's largest city. Located in the Central Valley, San José is the seat of national government, the focal point of political and economic activity, and the major transportation hub of this Central American nation. The population of San José Canton is 288,054, though the metropolitan area stretches beyond the canton limits and comprises a third of the country's population. It is named in honor of Joseph of Nazareth.
Though few people live in the city center, it is the most important working area of the country, which brings in more than a million people daily. Despite its problems, according to studies in Latin America, San José is still one of the safest and least violent cities in the region. In 2006, the city was appointed Ibero-American Capital of Culture.
San José is the sixth most important destination in Latin America, according to The MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Index 2012. San José ranked 15th in the world’s fastest growing destination cities by visitor cross-border spending.

Hello explorers! Hoping you enjoy the results of a two week journey in, out, and around astonishingly lush jungles and smile-inducingly friendly small towns of Costa Rica with Wild Planet Adventures. After landing from a red-eye out of LAX our journey immediately began by picking up companion travelers and making way to our accommodations. Inching closer and closer to the coast along the way our van stalled while navigating a highly flooded coastal road! We were stuck in hot and sticky air, bugs and birds abound....but isn't that exactly what makes it an adventure?! Speedbump out of the way, the trip could now truly begin. Traveling to new locations for fresh activities almost daily we visited places like Cahuita, on the Caribbean side of the country, to experience a beachside hike through...
In 2009, Boom, Liz, Ouxu and I went on a little trip to Costa Rica. I'd been hoarding the footage and hadn't done much with it, but bk finally encouraged me to get it together. We stayed in Puerto Viejo, on the Caribbean side, in the Banana Azul hotel, where we met our unofficial tour guide, Franklin. Better late than never, ladies. This is for you: Ouxu, Liz and Boom.

Wild Racers Costa Rica brings elite competitors from around the world to race day and night covering a 820k course. Athletes will travel from the southeast of Panama, over the highest mountain of Chirripo towards the village of Tortuguero (Land of the Turtles) then travel to the Nicaraguan border in the north for the long haul and to the finish at Puerto Viejo Sarapiqui. Set in this exotic locale, athletes will extreme water kayak, mountain bike, abseil and wilderness trek, pushing themselves to the ultimate limits of human endurance. All will have to combat the physical and psychological challenge, having no reference point or no support from the outside world to guide them. In the spirit of a true expedition teams are truly ‘unsupported’, forgoing the comfort and assistance of suppor...
Join host, Dawn Dubriel on an adventure in Costa Rica. Take a walk into the jungle, then a boat ride through the swamps in Tortugero to see nature's wildlife such as birds, turtles, frogs, insects, a caymen family (mom, babies, and poppa), as well as a baby sea turtle as it makes its way to the Atlantic ocean. Join Dawn as she bathes in the Tabocon Hot Springs in Arenal, or Fortuna where the volcano is. See many delicious Costa Rican dishes, crocodiles, and waterfalls.

The Caribbean beaches of Puerto Viejo are the perfect launching point for this adventure. From this beach town, drive north to the ecolodge of Selva Bananito which provides calm and comfort in the middle of the rainforest. You can choose to cozy up with a book OR experience a not-so-typical day hike. Climb, wade across rivers, hike through thick vegetation, ride a jungle "elevator", and discover hidden waterfalls on a hike with your guide. See what rafting the whitewater of the Pacuare River is like, and enjoy a Costa Rican meal at Rios Tropicales - your home for the evening.
Corcovado National Park is the most biodiverse area in the world, housing thousands of species. When trekking into the flourishing jungle, it's important to have a guide to educate you on the wildlife and environment of Corcovado. Having grown up on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, Maikol Salas Sanchez is all too familiar with the jungle. He leads with knowledge and appreciation for the jungle and surrounding area. Take a look at Corcovado and why Maikol love's this piece of the world.

Herby and Mauricio are Interaction Design Students from San José, Costa Rica. Everyday in San José, over 1.5 million people commute by bus. Currently, the city's streets and public transportation systems are collapsed. Streets are narrow and the bus systems are inefficient and slow. People need to adapt to the system instead of the other way around. How does wearable technology fit? Devices could learn and predict users’ travel patterns, connect to a system that would analyse and aggregate all this information and communicate with the bus systems. With this data the most efficient route for every bus could be created, telling it what stops to make, which stops to skip and guide the user to the specific bus that will take less time to get to their destination.
