Its author, Joaquin Bernardo Calvo, was a Costa Rican politician and diplomat who had access to official documents and other sources of information.

It includes information on the country's rivers, lakes, mountains, and forests, as well as its mineral wealth and agricultural potential. - Part two is devoted to the history of Costa Rica. It begins with the pre-Columbian era and continues through the colonial period and the country's independence from Spain in 1821. This section also covers the political and economic development of Costa Rica in the 19th century. - Part three is concerned with Costa Rica's people and culture. It describes the country's population, education system, and economy. It also provides information on Costa Rican customs, traditions, and folklore.
