This article analyzes natural, economic, social and political factors and circumstances that have been conducive to the institutionalization and consolidation of biological sciences in Costa Rica, in two centuries of independent life, while highlighting the contributions of the main individuals and entities that have made this process possible. The following six key historical routes have been identified to tackle this analysis: the isthmic condition of the country and the proximity of the San Juan River, due to its potential importance as a natural interoceanic canal; the peace and political stability of the country, as a condition for carrying out scientific activities; the recognition and acceptance of biological sciences in the local culture; the vision and need to take advantage of foreign scientific knowledge; opportune and fruitful international scientific alliances; and awareness of the need to institutionalize biological sciences. Hopefully, lessons may be derived from this analysis, geared to contribute to better orient future national efforts in this matter.
