Dear Manuel,
Our institute has published 54 datasets under an open data licence at GBIF
(
https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?publishing_org=1cd669d0-80ea-11de-a9d0-f1765f95f18b
)
You can look for local data on GBIF too.
Best regards,

Thank you very much Rich.
Yes, you are right, is a very broad spectrum.
I teach mainly to wildlife ecology students.
I was using several datasets from different sources for homeworks and
final projects, but some of the students were "sharing" the results of the
assignments so I decided to assign different datasets to each student for
their homeworks. This means that I need several datasets for each
assignment, and the data need to be similar in the structure, for example,
logistic regression, the response variable needs to be binary, and so on.

Manuel,
Ecology, and it's applied focus Environmental science, are very broad.
been working with these data for several decades so I need to ask what
types
of data you want.
I don't know what's available from Costa Rican agencies but I do know
in the US you can get geochemical, biological, hydrologidal, and other
from the US Geological Survay, Environmental Protection Agency (if
not removed them), Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and
Resources Conservation Service.
You can also look at StreamNet run by the Pacific States Marine
Council, The Army Corps of Engineers for hydraulic, flow, and sediment
transport data.
That's a start.
