Traveler's Costa Rica Companion

The Traveler's Costa Rica Companion guides you through a world filled with exciting possibilities. Explorers discover the best trails to the peaks of Cerro Chirrip= and the depths of the Barra Honda caverns. Birdwatchers learn where to spot quetzals, bellbirds and brown boobies; botanists discover gardens filled with rare orchids and bromeliads. Amateur naturalists follow suggested pathways to forests teeming with wildlife and coral reefs harboring tropical fish. Even those intent on lounging on beach or in a comfortable hotel suite find themselves surrounded by nature's surprises - sloths slumbering on a nearby tree limb, toucans perched on a balcony, monkeys crashing through the forest canopy beside a swimming pool. Costa Rica is sure to captivate your senses, capture your imagination, and leave you with enchanted memories. There are lavish color photographs that take you to your destination while you are still planning. This guide is set up in an easy-to-use format. The clearly structured entries on where to stay, eat, and how to get there, guide you directly to the things you want to see, allowing you to spend less time with your nose in your guidebook and more time enjoying your destination.
