1.0 out of 5 stars poorest of the costa rican guidebooks available, January 3, 2006
This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
There is very little actual information on the country in this book. It's mostly just places to stay. The Moon book on Costa Rica is vastly superior, with the new Lonely Planet coming second.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very complete reference, November 10, 2006

Linda (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2006 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
I found this book very handy! First it covers the seven regions of Costa Rica, then goes into the history and culture of the country overall.

It points out a lot of worthwhile sites to see, like the Arenal Volcano, canopy tours, choosing a beach, the national parks.

Then it has what it calls Close Ups, little sidebars that cover things like futbol (soccer), how to navigate cities where the streets have no name, the Carnaval, cloud forests, and so on. All great stuff.

There are more than 20 maps, including a pull-out map, that really come in handy.

As usual, Fodor's does an excellent, comprehensive job!
