Author's Game Description
It's a tropical Gem. Find Cities & Neighbors, Provinces, and the Conservation Areas (CAs) of the SINAC system, which administers protected areas. No mention of the scary ferry crossing from the Nicoya Peninsula back to the mainland...
Attributions are complex. See the game comments.

Very nice game, it's confusing at times to jump from one map to the other, but that makes it a bigger challenge, I like it!

I made my own Costa Rican map quiz, focused on National Parks, but it's kind of complex too and I'm the only one who has played it... I think anyone who enjoys this one might like learning mine too:
