The cuisine of Costa Rica has been greatly influenced due to colonization and invasions of the region. The recorded history of Costa Rica tends to begin with Christopher Columbus, who stayed for 17 days in 1502, and was so impressed by the gold decorations worn by the friendly locals that he promptly dubbed the country as Costa Rica meaning “the rich coast”. Despite the lure of untold wealth of the region, colonization was slow to take hold and it took nearly 60 years for the Spanish settlers to make a dent in the tangled jungle. Once the process of invasion and colonization had begun in the region, like its similarly colonized neighbors, Costa Rica also landed up in suffering the effects of European invasion. With that done, the true and authentic culture of Costa Rica was effected as well. Today you are bound to find a lot of variety and diversity in the cuisine of Costa Rica due to the massive influence the colonizers and invaders left upon it.
