| WELCOME TO COSTA RICA The Land of Natural Wonders and Friendly People There are very few places in the world that can offer such an incredible diversity of scenery, climate and vacation pleasures as Costa Rica does. Especially when you realize that it is only 240 kilometers (150 miles) wide, from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean, and 400 kilometers (250 miles long from Nicaragua to the Panama border. With a national territory of 51,100 square kilometers (19,700 square miles), Costa Rica is approximately half the size of the state of Kentucky in the United States, or slightly larger than Switzerland in Europe.
