Footprint Costa Rica Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Recommended
Review: (Planeta.com Journal) - This guide distinguishes itself with beautiful photos and a healthy respect for the needs of the ecotourist. Well-researched and well-written, the book is highly recommended. Independent travellers will find practical advice and tips for all budgets, organized tours will find good local information to get the best from their stay.

Summary: Not the Best Choice
Review: In preparing for a four-week trip to Costa Rica I bought three travel guides: Moon Handbook, Lonely Planet and Footprint. Of these, I found Footprint to be the least useful and did not bring it along to Costa Rica. Unlike the other two guides, I found its descriptions of places to stay, eat, and visit to be too brief to get much of a sense of what the places were really like.

Summary: The best mass-market ecotourist guide
Review: Without a doubt, "Footprint" is the best mass-market ecotourist guide available for Costa Rica. Another superior book that will also interest ecotourists, conservationists, amateur naturalists and history buffs, who wish to learn more about this irresistible country is, "Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made."
