Costa Rica Guide

The Costa Rica travel and vacation guide website is a companion to the Toucan Guides waterproof travel map.

Costa Rica Pictures

Home to detailed information about all the adventures shown on the map from canopy tours to butterfly gardens. Descriptions of the rain forest, turtle nesting beach and volcano National Parks include maps, hours, hiking trails and what to do.

Orchid Every tourism location page automatically maps out hotels, activities, and other parks in the same region so you don't have to search around for them.

The Costa Rica Guide covers practical information on weather, safe travel, money, airfare, rent a car, health, and packing for Costa Rica, and we round it out with fun sections on food and Costa Rican recipes, pictures, and travel stories.

So whether you’re considering travel to Costa Rica on an all inclusive tour, an ecology expedition to spot animals, a surfing safari, real estate shopping or you just want a relaxing vacation on the beach, pick a topic from the menu on the left and welcome to the Costa Rica guide…

Hi folks --
I have just returned from my trip to Costa Rica cycling with my 13 year old daughter. We had a blast! People were extremely friendly and kind (and incredulous that we were on bicycles). We started out... Thanks again

I want you to know how great the map is that we bought from you. We went off into the boonies but felt as if we knew where we were from the detailed map.

It is a work of art!! Very logical on the folding too, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Actually, I LOVE it. It is a functional, classy, useful, must have item for anyone traveling to Costa Rica. Or, for that matter any upscale Costa Rican.

I am planning a trip to Costa Rica in September and was surprised out difficult it is to find comprehensive information on the Internet. Thank you for creating a site, that isn't trying to sell something, and provides a great deal of information!

Great site! You provide an invaluable resource for folks interested in Costa Rica. We are retired and are considering a move to CR. We plan to visit CR in the near future and are trying to learn as much as possible before we visit. You have done a lot to fill many holes in our knowledge.
