Review
Many general travel guides to Costa Rica have been written; but this provides a specific focus on the waterfalls and hot springs of the country and will present readers with descriptions of the high points along with the practicalities of locating and traveling to the areas. Be prepared to hike to many of these locations, and enjoy fine first-person descriptions. -- Midwest Book Review

Costa Rica. A place of mysterious and secluded places: Lush green ferns, colorful wild orchids, exotic singing birds. And what is an exotic place without hot springs and waterfalls? Costa Rica has these too, and Sam Mitchell's Pura Vida shows you the way to the spectacular sights of plummeting water and bubbling hot springs. From Congrejo Falls to San Pedrillo Falls and all points in between, Mitchell describes each waterfall and hot spring in detail - how to get there, what to expect, and where to stay. From the more timid to the most adventurous, there's something for everyone. (6 x 9, 96 pages, b&w photos, charts, map)
