Product Description
Fodor's Exploring Guides are the most up-to-date, full-color guidebooks available. Covering destinations around the world, these guides are loaded with photos, essays on culture and history, descriptions of sights, and practical information. Full-color photos make this a great guide to buy if you're still planning your itinerary (let the photos help you choose!) and it's a perfect companion to a general guidebook, like a Fodor's Gold Guide.

All the great sights plus the history and anecdotes that bring them to life

• Extraordinary coverage of history and culture

• Itineraries, walks and excursions, on and off the beaten path

• Architecture and art

Practical tips and full-color maps and photos

• Getting there and getting around

• When to go and what to pack

• Quick tips on where to sleep in every price range

• Savvy restaurant picks for all budgets

3.0 out of 5 stars Just an average travel book, July 18, 1999
By A Customer
We used the book religiously on our trip to Costa Rica. It was helpful in finding some of the best areas, but we relied on help from the locals to find the good stuff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and discouraging guide to Costa Rica, March 5, 1998
By A Customer
The only positive thing I can say about this book is that the photographs are excellent. The content, leaves much to be desired. The author, Fiona Dunlap spends much of this book complaining and insulting - from bad road conditions to long lines, it's negative all around. Ms. Dunlap definitely give the impression that she greatly disliked her stay in Costa Rica. Very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute treasure of a travel guide!, April 2, 1999
By A Customer
When touring Costa Rica, it is very difficult to eliminate options.... the country is so beautiful, the topography so diverse. This book zeroes right in on the best, the 'must see' and 'highly recommended' attractions. It also offers a wonderful assortment of colored photographs.

I highly recommend this travel guide, especially for a first-time traveler to Costa Rica, or one who has limited time to explore the wonders of this diverse and enchanting environment!
