Free Costa
Rica Books & Maps
There are a number of free resouces for Costa
Rican travelers, mostly on webpages (see
links), but few are in
an easily printable format. The reliable sources we're aware of
we've listed here.
Free stuff is hard to keep track of so
if you have any difficulties with any of these links or know of
any other good sources, please help us keep this page useful by
e-mailing and letting
us know about it.
Guidebook
Free

on arrivals and departures, practical info on embassies and consulates

Note: It's been pointed
out to us that they have the prices for taxi rides from the airport
to Heredia (actually
$US 7) and Alejuela (actually $US 2) reversed.

of the whole country available.
