Duquette in Limon, Costa Rica |
|
  |

Costa Rica is one of the most diverse countries in the world. It contains about 5% of the world's species in its lush, wild natural environment. It is one of the few countries in the world with no army, and is considered a safe paradise. The country and its people have a peaceful disposition. There is a national Park in Limon, but the cruise did not offer a trip to that area. |

Limon is one of seven provinces in Costa Rica. The capital of the Limon Province is Puerto Limon. It is the only province to be situated entirely on the Caribbean side of the Continental Divide, so its weather is directly affected by the flow of warm, moist air from the Atlantic Ocean. Janice MacKey posed for a photo. |
