The Republic of Costa Rica is a South American country in the Caribbean region. The name seems to come from the account of Christopher Columbus, who claimed to have seen there "the greatest sign of gold in two first days than in Hispaniola in four years", which led many sailors to its shores looking for their wealth in gold.
