Even though the name of this country may make you think of the cold or even food it is warm in this coastal nation.

Tasks:
This country is long and narrow. If you go to one of the many beaches what ocean will you take a dip in to cool down?

Not only can you swim in this country but you can go climbing in this mountain range which is along the coast.

If you stay along the coast and travel north you may see a mirage when you spend time in this desert.
