Question

can you guys tell me some costa rican folklore please

Answer 1

This creation story from the Cabecar and Bribri people of Costa Rica explains the connection between trees and water. Sibu has created the world, but he feels that something is missing. He wants help from Thunder, but cannot seem to get his attention. So Sibu creates the first woman and names her Sea. The minute Thunder sees her, he asks her to be his wife. After she is bitten by a snake and falls into a deep sleep, Thunder and Sibu lovingly wrap her in a bundle of leaves. Eventually she turns into a tree, and then bursts open to spill out all of the waters of the world-the missing element.

And this:
As with every country's heroes, facts, myths, legends and truth blend together and form themselves into a folklore. Did George Washington really chop down that Cherry tree? Did Caesar really say "Et Tu Brute"? Well, the same is true for Costa Rican national hero, Juan Santamaría. The story as it is taught to Tico school children, is as follows. Juan Santamaría, a seventeen year old drummer boy from Alajuela, single handedly turned back an invasion of Costa Rica by burning down a fort full of enemy solders and in the process lost his life. Now, what parts of this story are fact and which are fantasy is open to conjecture.

There are many books available on Costa Rica folklore, so I'd suggest looking for those.
