 Donate
the use of your photographs to us. Everyone loves great pictures,
and we have thousands of our own photographs of Costa Rica, but many
of yours are better!
If you allow us to use
your photographs, we will always do so in a respectful manner. All
pictures will appear with
a caption giving you credit and
recognizing your ©copyright ownership (if you want us to, some
prefer anonymity). We will also include a link to
your photo album, or home page if you would like. Since we now have
half a million visitors each year, this is a great way
for
more people to find your pictures.
If anyone ever contacts
us about buying the photograph we will refer them to you.
e-mail and let us know
where to look at your pictures if you have them on a web page. If you
only have one or two that you're particularly
proud of, or want to let us use, just attach them to an e-mail.
We'll let you know where you can see them if we use them.
Add
a link from your web site to ours. We'd love to have your
visitors visit us, so if you want a link to a web site with general
information on Costa Rica use this one
Costa-Rica-Guide.com
<a
href="http://Costa-Rica-Guide.com" target="_blank">Costa-Rica-Guide.com</a>
This
will open our web site in a new window so people won't get bumped off
of your page.

something from Amazon or Barnes&Noble using one of our stores.

The sales pitch
We've been providing free information, and travel planning assistance
with no ulterior motive for a decade. By late 2003 Costa-Rica-Guide.com
was so popular that our out-of-pocket expenses were becoming prohibitive.
We realized that we would have to start selling something, add those annoying
pop-up advertisements, or shut down.
We were quite pleased to discover that
there was a way to sell something without compromising the objectivity
of the web site, and at no cost
to our visitors.
If you're traveling to Costa Rica, you'll probably buy
a couple of books, maps and last minute supplies. If you shop at Amazon
or Barnes
and Noble use one of the links on our site to access these online stores.
You pay the exact same price, and we get a few cents commission for sending
you there.
Feel free to take advantage of the resources provided at Costa-Rica-Guide.com
without making any purchases, but don't hesitate to support us as often
and heartily as you like.
When
available, current prices are given for both Amazon and Barnes&Noble-the
best price is highlighted in red.
If you factor in shipping and handling charges this price is almost
always the lowest available anywhere. If we ever find a lower price
we post it. If you ever find a lower price from a reliable dealer,
let us know and we'll post it.
You can also use these links
Amazon | Barnes&Noble
for any other shopping, and we'll get the commission
Tell
us your tales. We love hearing stories and with your permission
we might publish them on Costa Rica Guide, of course with a byline
giving
you credit and recognizing your ©copyright ownership (if you want
us to, some prefer anonymity). If we change the story in any way (using
only part of it for example), we will contact you before publishing
it.
Let
us know if there is something wrong with the Costa Rica Guide web site,
either information or web functionality (broken links etc.). Ray@Costa-Rica-Guide.com
Let
us know if you have a great tip about anything relating to Costa Rica
so we can include it. (like other great web sites, a new flight or
bus service, a hotel that just made your day, or a secret hot spring-we
love hearing about these and will keep it a secret if you ask us
to ;-) Ray@Costa-Rica-Guide.com.
We'll be happy to give you credit or let you remain anonymous whichever
you prefer.
