Cloud Forest of Costa Rica in Cleveland Botanical Garden

The Cleveland Botanical Garden has a permanent Glasshouse display with an environment of the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica. Towering tropical trees, ever-blooming shrubs and exuberant vegetation enfold you, lending a refreshing feel and scent to the air.

Small bromeliads, delicate orchids and vines cling to every available surface. Butterflies and tiny jeweled birds flit and dart through the air, while ground doves coo in the underbrush. Up on the canopy walk you look down on a master-craftsmen's mosaic of gorgeous leaf patterns and blooms bursting above the treetops. Watch this short video walkthrough of the lower level.

Cleveland Costa Rican Feedback and Memories



Costa Rica History and Culture

Map of Costa Rica

TAlthough explored by the Spanish early in the 16th century, initial attempts at colonizing Costa Rica proved unsuccessful due to a combination of factors, including disease from mosquito-infested swamps, brutal heat, resistance by natives, and pirate raids. It was not until 1563 that a permanent settlement of Cartago was established in the cooler, fertile central highlands. The area remained a colony for some two and a half centuries.

In 1821, Costa Rica became one of several Central American provinces that jointly declared their independence from Spain. Two years later it joined the United Provinces of Central America, but this federation disintegrated in 1838, at which time Costa Rica proclaimed its sovereignty and independence. Since the late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred the country's democratic development.

In 1949, Costa Rica dissolved its armed forces. Although it still maintains a large agricultural sector, Costa Rica has expanded its economy to include strong technology and tourism industries. The standard of living is relatively high. Land ownership is widespread.
