Reviews / Votes
"This brand new guide book fully does this land of 'eco-adventures in paradise' justice. The author sets out to provide a guide that will allow visitors to make the most of their vacation in Costa Rica and succeeds gloriously, vividly with a mix of I-want-to-be-right-there photography and text that is both practical and beguiling. In short: a tour de force in travel guides." --Chris Robinson, The Chris Robinson Travel Show "Hands down, these are the best travel guidebooks I've ever read." --Wandering EducatorsMore details
