Review

Costa Rica is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Central America, and for good reason: a stable government and progressive conservation policies make this little jewel of a country a pleasure to explore. For anyone considering a trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Guide to Costa Rica is an ideal resource and guide. One third of the book is dedicated to Costa Rica's rich history, culture, economy, and ecology, as well as issues important to travelers such as food, recreation, accommodations, and safety. The rest of the book is dedicated to the parks and the best places to snorkel, dive, white-water raft, hike, and camp. For a truly comprehensive guide to Costa Rica's flora, fauna, and recreational opportunities, Adventure Guide to Costa Rica is a great bet.

Review

Make this third, updated edition a take-along tote if you're outdoors-oriented and heading to Costa Rica: this provides a healthy dose of history, cultural and natural history observation in addition to tips on where to go and how to take in the country's outdoor areas. From snorkeling to hiking and birdwatching, this outlines the best. -- Midwest Book Review
