Costa Rica abolished its army in 1948 and has no standing military, a fact that shapes the country's self-image. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other, so a single day can cover several landscapes. Drivers keep to the right, and intercity buses form the main public transport between towns. On the Caribbean coast, green and leatherback turtles nest, while olive ridleys arrive at Ostional in mass nestings.
