This was so helpful in preparing me for my trip, gave great tips on food, entertainment, what not to waste your time on, etc. Even came with a map, that came in handy more than once.
ADD friendly.

I purchased Fodor's and Lonely Planet's Costa Rica Guides. Fodor's is easier to use - it isn't boringly laborious to read. The layout and reader-friendly format makes it a pleasure both to scan and to read at lentgth when subtexts catch one's interest. This is the book we'll take with us to Costa Rica.

I appreciate guide books that are put together with care, appreciate writing that is fun and interesting and highly informative. "Fodor's Costa Rica 2004" is an inexpensive book and a terrific one!It was the best book on the country besides the considerably more pricey, "Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made," a welcome addition to any library collection that will capture the interest of travelers, amateur geologists, students, and conservationists .
Great Book!

Hi, I am working at ILISA Spanish Language Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica and I just want to say that this book helps our students a lot by giving them helpful inside information and thus by getting to know all the ins and outs about this fantastic country. Thanks!
