Costa Rica---Geography

Costa Rica is 51,100 square kilometers, or 19,730 square miles.
Think of how big Vermont and New Hampshire are combined, and that's about how big Costa Rica is!
The capital is San Jose, the terrian is rugged. The climate is mild in the central highlands,  and tropical in coastal areas.
 It's also a bit swampy.
I remember when I went there we went on a cruise down a swampy river, and there lots of monkeys, and they would climb down onto our boat when we put bananas on the bow.
There were also lots of shrimp when we went fishing!
There were also HUGE Iguanas, that were like three feet long!!!!
