Synopsis
Costa Rica, famous for its rain forests, is one of the most stable and beautiful countries in central America. Encompassing an area the size of Ireland, it brings together pronounced geographical extremes, from spectacular beaches to majestic Andean volcanoes, from swampy lowlands with swarms of scarlet macaws to highlands. Costa Rica offers hiking and water sports, casinos and discos, as well as a wealth of wildlife which makes a paradise for naturalists and bird watchers. The country boasts 800 species of ferns, 1200 species of orchids and 2000 varieties of trees and contains immense reserves to preserve the virgin rain forests. This book describes the flora and fauna in detail, as well as the history and government of the country. Full of practical information, this book includes an area by area guide for the traveller.
