  1. Its on the border between Costa Rica and Panama. The selva you are referring to i think includes the La Amistad International Park. So it would be in the Southern part of the Limón Province and maybe some in the Puntarenas Province


  2. i'm pretty sure it is in the southern part of the Carribean coast of Costa Rica, south of Limon.

  3. Talamanca is Costa Rica’s southeastern frontier region. Virtually inaccessible until the late 1970s, Talamanca remains the nation’s poorest yet greenest section. Shaped like a triangle, this densely forested region remained untouched until the end of the 19th C. Its name derives from the Miskito Indian word Talamalka, which means “place of blood,” referring to the end of a hunt.

    Most of the resident indigenous peoples did not make this their original home. After the Bribri, Guatuso, and Cabécar tribes burned down several missions and killed priests, they were forcibly resettled here and in Guanacaste. The three indigenous peoples’ reserves in the area are the Talamanca Bribri, Talamanca Cabécar, and KékoLdi.
