So, let's start exploring. First talk about the flag, costa rica uses two different variants of flags, simplified and official flag. The simplified flag does not have coat of arms, while the official one have coat of arms(one of the most elaborate flag of a country, with a illustration of mountains, flags and oceans on both side. Costa rica means means rich coast'(which is absolutely true). Talking about the location of costa rica it is located in the southern portion of central america.
Costa rica have 30 main islands and more than hundred small islands. Now, let's talk about the part which i love about costa rica. Costa rica is rich in biodiversity and costa rica have 5% of world's biodiversity. Not only that, costa rica also home to 25% of national park of the world.
