Medieval Costa Rica
In 1502 Columbus
sailed past Costa Rica and pronounced that it was
a "rich coast", or in Spanish "Costa
Rica".
Costa Rica was colonized in 1561 by Juan de Cavallon. With the colonizationof Costa
Rica and the work of missionaries the Native Americans
were killed in battle, fled or were
wiped out by epidemics.
