Uvita Island

Uvita Island, or Isla Uvita officially Isla Quiribrí, is a small zero.8-rectangular-kilometre island 885 metres 2,904 toes offshore of the port at Limon on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The island is 420 metres 1,380 toes long from north to south and 315 metres 1,033 ft wide, northwest to southeast. It is currently uninhabited, but there may be as a minimum one shape at the island, and a small dock. It is feasible to visit the island with the aid of renting a ship and a motive force at one of the fishing docks at the Cieneguita River. Christopher Columbus anchored his ships on the island for maintenance for the duration of his very last voyage to

America in 1502, and gave the island the call of La Huerta. The -week go to allowed contact with the Indians, who welcomed the Europeans wearing apparel of gold, which became the motive that some mistakenly attributed to Columbus the naming of Costa Rica a call which changed into without a doubt first used by the Royal Audiencia of Panama in 1538.
