Summary: If you buy only one book on Costa Rica, buy this one.
Comment: This book is the most thorough I've seen on Costa Rica. I'm a frequent traveller, and I've used Pariser's other books and found them invaluable. If you want to really "explore" Costa Rica--as the title suggests, then you need this book. It won't steer you wrong... I highly recommend it!

Summary: An Excellent guide for Costa Rica
Comment: I found the organization of this book rather good. Particularly useful is the itinerary list on the publisher's website which helps you to select among the many options available, and there are updates available there as well. There are many good suggestions for choosing a nature tour, and the coverage of national parks is outstanding.I went on a great hike which I found detailed in this guide book. The background information on society, culture, as well as other information on the country of Costa Rica, I found very valuable. It put the country in perspective for me. He obviously cares about environmental issues and this is different from other guide books I have read.
I found the photos top notch, and was drawn to the book first by the cover photo of the volcano. In all, I had a great trip, helped by following the author's suggestions for things to do, and places to stay.

Summary: One in the hand, two in the bush....
Comment: What can I say? I thought this book was above average until I saw one that I liked much better!
I was eating at Croce's Restaurant in Old-Towne San Diego, California, when I saw a book displayed: Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made.
Apparently, singer Jim Croce's widow had spent a couple of years there working and recuperating after her husband's death, and the authors came into her restaurant one day and they ended up trading books with her (she wrote a cookbook, Thyme in a Bottle)!
Well, I looked through The Last Country The Gods Made and ended up buying it on Amazon and it's a FIVE star, compared to Explore Costa Rica. Bottom line, the writing's so much more engaging.
