My wife and I have lived in Escazu, Costa Rica for years. We found this "reference" guide book to have just about all the important information newcomers need when making the move. We read this book when we first moved here and continue to recommend it to friends who are thinking about moving here. We appreciate the easy-to-read reference style of this book.
Great book!

I strongly disagree with John Akins review. The over 40 pages of "starting a small business" gives an excellent overview of what a newcomer needs to know to get a small or medium business started. I didn't read one sentence that conveyed a "rosy picture" It does say how to start, what you should know, business ideas, and even gives photo's and stories of people who came and started a business. It was my favorite section.
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!
