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.
12 countries in the Americas have more than its 2 land borders; it is the same as Belize, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, Suriname, El Salvador, the United States and Uruguay. Its two neighbours do not border each other, so there is no chain to walk — each has to be learned on its own. Nicaragua and Panama are joint most connected of them, with 2 land borders each. Both of them are on the Americas map with Costa Rica, and on the world map with everyone else.
