The New Key to Costa Rica

by Beatrice Blake, Anne Becher, Nik Wheeler (Photographer)

This is the classic guide to Costa Rica that blazed the trail for adventure travel. This guide was not written by a team of "experts" nor by a writer who has 10 different guides to 10 different locations. It is written by two women who have a deep understanding, love and concern for Costa Rica. It offers the insights and hints that only a local can pass along. The best elements of a travel guide, including hotel and restaurant reviews, are combined with ecotourism information. The most popular areas are covered in detail, yet areas of pristine wilderness are not neglected - the book extensively surveys the country's wildlife. Two foldout color maps of the country and capital city, and complete details on outdoor adventures are included. "This book takes absolutely no shortcuts." - San Diego Union-Tribune; "Brings the traveler closer to the local culture." - San Antonio Express-News.

Great info in this travel book to Costa Rica. . .Liked the eco-tourism tips and suggestions for lodging and activities. She didn't steer us wrong at all. There's a little disorganization, but you can figure it out easily.

This is the 9th edition, 1989, 252p.

Obviously this early edtion is very dated in many respects, but parts are still useful.

Perfect book to have when you travel or plan on travelling to Costa Rica. This came in handy when we were planning our trip and while we were there a month ago.
