including the Arenal area, Monteverde and its Cloud Forest,
Liberia and Guanacaste, plus all the many beaches and
national parks. It contains all the practical travel
information you need: places to stay and eat, tourist
information resources, travel advice, emergency contacts
and more plus condensed sections on history and geography
that give you good background knowledge of the
destination. Plus, this edition is in full color
throughout. The authors are fascinated with the
destination and their passion comes across in the text,
which is lively, revealing and a pleasure to read.
Sidebars highlight unusual facts and tell of local legends,
adding to your travel experience. Detailed town and
regional maps make planning day-trips or city tours easy.
Adventures covered range from town sightseeing tours and
nature watching to sea kayaking and organized jungle
excursions. Travelers looking for a more relaxed vacation
may want to sign up for language classes or take a course
on traditional regional cooking these cultural adventures
will introduce you to the people and afford you a truly
unique travel experience. We travel to grow â€" our
Adventure Guides show you how. Experience the places you
visit more directly, freshly, intensely than you would
otherwise â€" sometimes best done on foot, in a canoe, or
through cultural adventures like art courses, cooking
classes, learning the language, meeting the people. This
can make your trip life-changing, unforgettable. All of
the detailed information you need is here about the hotels,
restaurants, shopping, sightseeing. But we also lead you
to new discoveries, turning corners never before turned,
helping you learn about the world in a new way â€"
Adventure Guides make that possible. Following are a few
reviews of the full guide: "I am here in Costa Rica in an
internet cafe and had to take the time to tell everyone
what a good book this is. It really gave us everything we
needed to plan our trip and now that we are here, we use
it to find just about everything. If you have not visited
Costa Rica yet, get a copy of this book and come on down -
- it is fabulous."--PURA VIDA! "My husband and I just
spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica and believe it or not,
found this Adventure Guide to be the best resource for
exciting things to do and see. It was also accurate for
finding hotels that had that little bit of extra ambiance
we wanted for romance. We had used Lonely Planet
guidebooks on other trips but found this guidebook to be
much better. It's easy to use, has lovely photographs, and
for rainy nights it made good armchair reading. I heartily
recommend the Adventure Guide for a wonderful vacation in
Costa Rica."--Amazon reviewer. "I took off a point for the
pedestrian writing and the sub-standard photos. (The
numerous quotes struck me as tangential, but I really
liked the design ephemera, including the original luggage
tag from Hotel Europa, CR's oldest hotel, a nice touch!)
Now, on to the good stuff: First off, Bruce & June
Conord's "alternative accomodations" was imaginative and
indispensable for me, and of course, in the true spirit of
"adventure." Secondly, of all the rough-and-tumble
excursions they present, my favorite was their walking
tour of historical San José. On foot is really the only
way to see Costa Rica's one and only capital city."--
Amazon reviewer.
