An emphasis on environmentally friendly adventures in national parks, wild refuges, biological reserves, and private nature reserves With Adventures in Nature: Costa Rica, you'll get top choices instead of a long, comprehensive list that leaves you wondering which way to turn for environmentally friendly adventure. You'll find a wide variety of accommodation and dining options, along with lots of maps that make it easy to organize your trip and locate where you want to go once you arrive in Costa Rica. Plus, you'll get an explanation of the country's new "green seal" for tourist-related businesses, with details on how to find out which hotels and private reserves have earned it.

The best book for nature lovers,
By "nhtravel" (Shirley, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventures in Nature: Costa Rica (Adventures in Nature (John Muir)) (Paperback)
Ree Strange Sheck does an excellent job describing lodges, locations, activities, and nature. I work in nature travel and use this book often. I highly recommend it for anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica who is interested in experiencing the beauty of this amazing country.

Excellent guide,
This review is from: Adventures in Nature: Costa Rica (Adventures in Nature (John Muir)) (Paperback)
It's been many years since we traveled to Costa Rica, but the nature preserves we remember best are well described in this current, and useful guide.
We especially recommend the inns at Monteverdi--a long, five hour drive up a dusty, mountain road, and worth every second, every pothole and every rut--and Drake Bay at the amazing reserve in Corcovado. From all appearances, all the other highlights of a nature adventure in Costa Rica was well represented here, as well. It's the vacation of a lifetime, which you will remember for a lifetime. And this book is one of the better places to look for the little gems in that little gem of a country.

This review is from: Adventures in Nature: Costa Rica (Adventures in Nature (John Muir)) (Paperback)
This book along with the coffee-table tome "Costa Rica : The Last Country the Gods Made" should be owned by anyone who loves Costa Rica, even if they think they despise natural history monologues as too narrow in their scope of a country. This book's spirit is undeniable.
