Costa Rica's Physical Geography

Costa Rica has four main mountain ranges.  Those four mountain ranges are called the Talamanca range, the Central Volcanic Range, the Tilaran range and the Guanacaste range.  Costa Rica has many national parks.  A few of the most well known are: Tortugeuro, Chirripo, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde and Santa Elena Cloud Forest and Cocos Island.  These national parks are very rich in wildlife and have some of the most beautiful rain forests in the world.
