Burica Peninsula

The Burica Peninsula in Central America is interesting because it is a rather skinny piece of land that is nevertheless shared by two countries. COSTA RICA is the western side of the Burica Peninsula which drops down into the Pacific Ocean. West of the Bahía de Charco Azul, the peninsula's eastern side is PANAMA. It is partially forested and has several cities, most notably Puerto Armuelles, Panama on the northeast shoreline of the peninsula. Other communities include Clarida and Las Penas in Costa Rica and Limones, Puerto Armuelles, Quebrada del Medio, and San Vicente in Panama.
