Sand and Sea to Spare in Costa Rica
THE Nicoya Peninsula juts off Costa Rica into the Pacific Ocean like a misshapen ear. It is rugged terrain, formed by the string of volcanoes inland. Other than a few large beach resorts in the far north, Nicoya's coastline has missed much of the development that has spread across the country.

Helping Guatemala's poor
Poverty is to head the agenda today as leaders from North and South America get together for the Special Summit of the Americas in Monterrey, Mexico.

The idea is to try and come up with a strategy to tackle increasing poverty which is deepening inequality in the region. But those who work with the poor in Latin America aren't holding out much hope that this meeting will make a difference. >more
