About this item
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.
About the Author
Eliot Greenspan is a poet, journalist, and travel writer who took his backpack and typewriter the length of Mesoamerica before settling in Costa Rica in 1992. Since then he has traveled almost ceaselessly around Latin America, writing articles and travel guides to feed his travel habit. He feels particularly at home in the Neotropics--in its rain and cloud forests, on its rivers, and in and under its seas. Eliot has written Frommer's guides to Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Cuba and Ecuador.
Since 2012, Eliot has run Costa Rica Custom Trips (www.costaricacustomtrips.com) offering personalized, professional trip planning, consultations and bookings, based on over 20-years on the ground in the tourism sector.
