by width i am to assume that you mean the distance from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, that is roughly 76 miles at its narrowest point (122 kilometers) and 172 miles (276 kilometers) at its apparent widest point (from Punta Guiones the westernmost point in Costa Rica to around the area of Barra Del Colorado in the Caribbean side). It is substantially 'wider' than Panama which is perhaps the reason the Panama Canal was built in that country. There was talk of originally building the canal in the Rio San Juan (which divides Costa Rica from Nicaragua) but those plans were abandoned when the area of Panama was deemed more suitable.

Who explored Costa Rica?

I think Christopher Columbus first explored Costa Rica during his fourth voyage to the Americas in 1502. He landed near what is now Puerto Limón on the Caribbean coast. After Columbus, Spanish conquistadors, such as Gil González Dávila, further explored and attempted to colonize the region in the early 16th century. These early explorers were followed by missionaries and settlers who gradually developed the area, although Costa Rica was considered a remote and difficult region due to its mountainous terrain and resistance from indigenous peoples.
