MAPS OF COSTA RICA


Basic Map of the San Jose Costa Rica Mission Zones
13 Zones in mission.  7 are shown-the rest are located in the San Jose Providence Area.



Detailed Map of Costa Rica
We are not an Island - Costa Rica is located between Panama and Niagara

We currently has 6 Stakes and 4 Districts in the Country of Costa Rica - 2013

Furthest North area is Liberia (Guanacaste) & furthest South area is Neily (Zona Sur)
(this map will show Zona Sur as Puntarenas - we have divided Puntarenas, in the mission, into two different areas -
see 1st map provided)

San Jose Providence has 6 Zones.  This is the center strength of the Church in CR. Cooler area, more populated with people & commercial. Stakes
Guanacaste: HOT & Beautiful. We are working hard to create a Liberia Stake. Amazing area.
Puntarenas: Green, Hot, Rain Forests, Beautiful people & surroundings. District .
Alajuela: Airport & Temple.  Strong stake and our largest zone. Beautiful area with strong members.
Heredia: much like Alajuela - Strong stake. There are 3 major soccer teams in CR = 1 is owned by a "Mormon" it is the Heredia Team & located in this zone.
Cartago: Older Catholic City -Beautiful.  Mountain area and has the coolest temperatures. District
Limon:  Caribbean side of CR - Bob Marley and HOT. 1/2 of area is Stake other is District. Growing area with amazing members.
Zona Sur: HOT and HUMID. Fishing and Produce area of CR, District that is growing with such great members and leaders.

EVERY AREA & ZONE IN COSTA RICA IS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS WONDERFUL ADVENTURES. EACH IS DIFFERENT & UNIQUE IN IT'S OWN WAY!! 

Costa Rica has Waterfalls, Rain Forests, Tropical Humid Forests, Cloud Forests, Beaches, Animals, Fruit, Sunshine, mosquitos, cockroaches, bugs, geckos, iguanas, rice, beans and more.

You will get to experience each of these things sometime during your mission!
