Generic Costa Rica 'facts' are easy to find on sites such as Wikipedia.org.
In my experience, most sites that offer Costa Rica 'facts' are repetitive and not extremely interesting when it would come to making a unique presentation.
If it were my presentation I would research Costa Rica blogs written by real people experiencing the country as you would yourself if you were to visit. The information will be much more interesting. |

In the last few days, due to climate change we´ve experienced and abnormal tropical storm. So far its lasted 3 days, causing hundreths of people all around the country to move out of their houses because of flooding, mud slides.
Check this site, its like our CNN, news channel, they have stories and even videos of the floods that you can download.
