About the Author
Toucan Maps was born in 1993 when we spent five weeks bicycling around Costa Rica. It is rough enough when a bad map leads you down a wrong turn in a vehicle, but on a bicycle it can be downright brutal.
We could not find a really good map so dozens of GIS files, hundreds of satellite images, and over ten thousand km of travel collecting GPS data, road conditions and hotel, restaurant, activity and other recommendations later we published the first Toucan Map of Costa Rica.
We sincerely hope you agree with the founder of one of the nations leading wildlife refuges that it is the best map Costa Rica has ever seen. And enjoy your travels following the new edition-Ray & Sue-Toucan Maps Inc.
