哥斯达黎加地址格式
Costa Rican addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street (Avenida/Calle), district (distrito), then postal code + city (canton or province capital). Many streets lack names or signs, so addresses traditionally reference landmarks (e.g. '200 m sur del parque central'); formal mail should use the Avenida/Calle grid plus the 5-digit código postal, which precedes the city name.
