...Nice flag view from the FOTW postcard series... the flag was officially adopted in 1848 inspired by the French Tricolore to represent liberty, equality, and fraternity.... the dark blue represents the sky, idealism, opportunities and perseverance... the white stripes represent peace, wisdom, and happiness... the red stands for the blood spilled by martyrs defending the country, as well as the warmth and generosity of the Costa Ricans... Thanks a lot Aloy!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Costa Rica literally meaning "Rich Coast" is a small country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua, Panama, the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and Ecuador. Its capital is San José.
Costa Rica’s history dates back to pre-Columbian times, with indigenous peoples like the Caribs, Borucas, and Chorotegas inhabiting the region.
Christopher Columbus was the first European to land in Costa Rica during his final voyage to the New World in 1502.
