The informative text, written by regional experts, is a pleasure to read.
A detailed Places section, with full-color maps, guides you around the regions which make up this small but varied country, from the bustling capital of San José to the exquisite beaches of its Pacific and Caribbean coastlines to the vast grasslands and volcanoes of the north.
A comprehensive Travel Tips section gives you all the travel advice you need to plan your trip. The selective listings for hotels, eco-lodges, and restaurants are the personal recommendations of a regional specialist.
