This video provided 25 minutes of generic film footage, interspersed with simplistic narration describing the general characteristics of Costa Rica. This documentary reminded me of the films we watched in elementary school, which were always followed by quizzes with questions like "Name two beaches in Costa Rica" and "Name the volcano featured in the film."

I was hoping for some good scenes of the country and information on places to visit. Unfortunately, much of the video is comprised of stock footage of people water skiing, children playing on the beach, and tourists looking at local crafts in the city markets.

If you are planning a visit to Costa Rica, buy the Lonely Planet guidebook and wait to see the sights in person.

I am from Puntarenas, Costa Rica; and I ordered this video because I live in the USA and wanted to return to my native country. This video provided an excellent source of information about pretty much a lot of costa rica like the gold museum, history, sites, beaches, nightlife, etc. It was a great video I believe. And it portrays costa rica as it truly is, and the sites and views int he video are true,a dn the country truly looks that beautiful because I have been there and seent hose things! All I can say is, "Que TUANIS y PURA VIDA Costa Rica!
