Costa Rica Guide: 2003 Edition

Most travelers go away for two weeks or less, so why is it that every major travel publisher offers huge books where 90% of the content A like the human brain A goes unused? Open Road has the solution, the perfect travel guide, because we now offer a choice consumers have not had before: a guide that actually gives readers the content they need for the trip they want Readers can flip through the book and go to the section that matches how much time they have budgeted, and then go right to that section and see our expert trip ideas. They will also see at a glance which hotels and restaurants are best for them, where the happening nightlife is, the best sports and recreation, and where the most authentic, local shopping can be found.

"Open RoadAs Best of Costa Rica" gives readers a small number of great choices and itineraries for one-day, weekend, one-week and two-week trips to whatever part of Costa Rica theyAre visiting. Only the best is included, with great ideas for ecotouring in Monteverde Cloud Forest and Tortuguero, exploring the wilds in Corcovado National Park, where to watch the sea turtles nesting, which are the best Pacific Coast beaches. We combine different kinds of trips for our readers, based on the amount of time they have, such as a one-week wildlife-and-wild-sports trip (from butterfly reserves to whitewater rafting), a combined city-and-volcanoes weekend plan, and much more.

Best of all, we donAt weigh readers down with tons of useless information A we cut to the chase and give readers short descriptions of the best Costa Rica has to offer..
