With a wealth of attractions and adventures, Costa Rica is the hottest new vacation destination in the Americas. Whether you want relaxation or excitement, you'll find it. Stroll leisurely on the beach or zip through the trees on a canopy tour. Explore urban San Jose; or incredible national parks with untouched wilderness. Choose the Caribbean Coast or the Central Pacific Coast Relax beside an infinity pool or battle a billfish. Seek out exuberant nightlife or take in the lush tropical scenery. Go golfing, snorkeling, volcano viewing, river rafting, sea kayaking, mountain biking, or horseback riding. Stay in a luxurious resort or a rustic wooden cabin...a Mediterranean villa or an Ecolodge tent. This friendly guide clues you in, with: the real deal on how to get to Costa Rica and how to get around after you arrive; details on San Jose and the Central Valley; the Guanacaste area, Costa Rica's "Gold Coast"; the Manuel Antonio area, the most popular ecotourism destination; the Monteverde area with misty cloud forests and the rest of the country; suggested itineraries to help you make the most of your time; and, fun options for rainy days-even if you're on the sunny coast.
Like every "For Dummies" travel guide, "Costa Rica For Dummies, 2nd Edition" includes: down-to-earth trip-planning advice; what you shouldn't miss - and what you can skip; the best hotels and restaurants for every budget; and, handy Post-it Flags to mark your favorite pages.
