Footprintfocus Costa Rica is brimming with information on adventure activities from diving to trekking, eco-friendly options for accommodation and comprehensive listings of where to eat, sleep and drink. * Essentials section with tips on getting there and around. * Includes fascinating insights into the history and culture of the country. * Comprehensive listings of where to eat & sleep, plus information on festivals and activities. * Detailed street maps for San Jose and other important towns and cities. * Slim enough to fit in your pocket.

Person
Peter first travelled through Central and South America between 1993 and 1995 after gaining a degree in Development Studies, specializing in Latin American Studies, from Reading University. During his travels he used both versions of 'The Bible' - Footprint's Central and South American Handbooks - to guide his path, taking time to stop for almost two years to work on The Bolivian Times in La Paz. Since then regular trips to Latin America, travelling popular routes and journeying roads less travelled, have kept the passion alive. Peter now lives in Hanwell, West London, using this base to work as a freelance journalist and travel writer.
