Editing Geography of Costa Rica (section)

===Mountain ranges===
The nation's coastal plain is separated by the [[Cordillera Central (Costa Rica)|Cordillera Central]] and the [[Cordillera de Talamanca]], which form the spine of the country and separate the Pacific and Caribbean [[drainage divide]]s.

The [[Cordillera de Guanacaste]] is in the north near the border with [[Nicaragua]] and forms part of the [[Continental Divide of the Americas]].

Much of the [[Cordillera de Talamanca]] is included in the [[La Amistad International Park]], which is shared between Costa Rica and Panama. It contains the country's highest peaks: the [[Cerro Chirripó]] and the [[Cerro Kamuk]]. Much of the region is covered by the [[Talamancan montane forests]]. It also includes the [[Cerros de Escazú]] which borders the [[Costa Rican Central Valley]] to the south.
