Altitude shapes Costa Rica's weather, and the Central Valley and mountain towns are cooler than the coasts. Costa Rica was part of the Spanish empire until independence in 1821, and coffee shaped its economy from the nineteenth century.

Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast. The country set aside its armed forces in 1948, and no standing military has existed since, a choice that continues to colour how the nation presents itself abroad. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, so conditions shift noticeably between the two sides.
