In Central America, no other nation matches Costa Rica in visitors--and the resulting torrent of tourists is matched by the popularity of guidebooks to that nation. But the country has so many resort areas and natural wonders that the visitor is often overwhelmed by them. This 320-page Easy Guide, by contrast, reduces the options to a manageable few: Guanacaste and Nicoya, the Northern Zone of Arenal and Monteverde, the Central Pacific Coast (Manuel Antonio National Park), the Southern Zone (Corcovado), the Caribbean Coast (Tortuguero), and San Jose. One of America's most engaging travel writers, Eliot Greenspan, who has lived in Costa Rica for 22 years, is Frommer's author of this delightful travel guide.
Costa Rica is a popular, easy-to-reach and inexpensive Central American nation (low-cost airfares there from U.S. gateways) for vacationers wanting nature unspoiled by high rises and such--of which there are none in the touristic areas. Its wildlife, flowers, volcanos, rain forests, beaches and general ecology are fiercely protected by a sensitive and democratic government--and the result is sheer pleasure. Author of our Easy Guide to Costa Rica 2015, Eliot Greenspan, has lived in Costa Rica since 1992, where he both writes, acts as a travel consultant, and operates a tour company to--guess where?--Costa Rica.
