Narrow down state/region
- Guanacaste (the northwestern province) receives less rainfall than the rest of the country and has drier terrain.
- Heading south, the Talamanca range rises with many high peaks
Rainfall is lower than elsewhere, and tropical rainforest is scarcer
.
There is no road through the interior of the range—roads run along both sides. Rainforest and cloud forest spread across it, and even roads on the flanks stay lush
.
Narrow down city/town
- Buildings serving as police boxes for the Public Force often have the locality name written on them.
- On routes to Costa Rica’s largest port, Puerto Limón, many trucks haul containers.
- Border crossings at Paso Canoas
and Peñas Blancas
also see frequent truck queues.
Police boxes display the locality name

A highway runs to the port, and container trucks are common
