Book Description

October 2, 2007 Fodor's Gold Guides
Relax at the most tranquil beaches, explore the lush cloud forests, embark on a white-water rafting adventure, walk right up to the edge of steaming volcanic craters, or spot one of the many exotic species of birds that inhabit this paradise–Fodor's Costa Rica 2008 offers all these experiences and more! Our local writers have traveled throughout the country to find the best hotels, restaurants, attractions and activities to prepare you for a journey of stunning variety. Before you leave for your trip be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to ensure you don't miss a thing.

- Includes unique, color photos that illustrate the country's history and local activities and a full-color pullout map of Costa Rica.
- We give you the planning tools you need to tailor your trip. We give options for all budgets. You make the choices.

Great book for prepping a trip to Costa Rica, and great to have along for a first timer! I took one from our library for our first trip to CR, and it was invaluable....will be going back, and have our own to take along now

3.0 out of 5 stars Just "OK" but that's it .........., March 29, 2008

This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
This is not a bad book, but I was not overly impressed with it. I may be spoiled by always buying a "Rick Steve's" book, because they are easy to follow and MUCH more in depth. This one had only brief descriptions of everything in it, and I found the organization of the book left much to be desired. I think next time I will try a Frommer's book if a Rick Steve's volume is not available.
