Eliot Greenspan

Eliot Greenspan is a poet, journalist, and travel writer who took his backpack and typewriter the length of Mesoamerica before settling in Costa Rica in 1992. Since then he has traveled almost ceaselessly around Latin America, writing articles and travel guides to feed his travel habit. He feels particularly at home in the Neotropics--in its rain and cloud forests, on its rivers, and in and under its seas. Eliot has written Frommer's guides to Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Cuba and Ecuador.

Since 2012, Eliot has run Costa Rica Custom Trips (www.costaricacustomtrips.com) offering personalized, professional trip planning, consultations and bookings, based on over 20-years on the ground in the tourism sector.
