Countries that border Costa Rica
2 land neighbours: Nicaragua and Panama. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
2 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 2 land borders are joint 5th-most in the Americas — level with Belize, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, Suriname, El Salvador, the United States and Uruguay. None of its neighbours borders another, so there is no chain to walk — every one of them has to be learned on its own. Nicaragua and Panama are joint most connected of them, with 2 land borders each. All of them deal on the Americas board alongside Costa Rica, and on the world board with everyone else in the Americas.
