If you are planning your first visit to Costa Rica, this audiobook will be invaluable.

You'll know what to expect when you arrive in Costa Rica, with a complete walk-through of the airport. We've also included information to keep you safe during your vacation and the ins-and-outs of travel in the country like renting a car, taking the bus or taxi, and hiring a private driver.

Learn the differences between restaurants and sodas, grocery stores, pulperias, and ferias (farmers markets), pharmacies, and macrobioticas (health food stores). We'll also tell you how to shop, where to find the best prices on souvenirs, and how to avoid "gringo pricing".

Listen to this "handy guide" on the plane so that you'll be prepared before you explore this amazing country.

listen to before your first visit to Costa Rica

I've been to Costa Rica twice a total of four and a half weeks out together and I learned whole lot from this 60 Minute audio! I will listen to it again before my third time there just to not miss anything. So good!

A wealth of knowledge, from experience

I am so glad that I listened to this book before my first trip to Costa Rica. The author shared practical, useful information about the country, their customs and practices. The books gives you everyday information that can be applied to make your trip safe, relaxed and comfortable. Very informative. I took lot's of notes but will most likely buy the book for reference before we go.
