Besides current road quality and surface status Krueger-Koplin has included detailed listings and locations of beaches, parks, reserves and refuges, butterfly gardens, canopy tours, fresh water fishing locales, surfing and scuba schools and more. How many times have you found yourself trying to plot all these locations on a map from your guidebook? This already has it done for you. As far as I know no other Costa Rica map goes this far.
—from Amazon.com reviews 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.—J.A., Jorco, Costa Rica Headed out on your bike or bird watching in the cloud forest? Not to worry. The "polyart" (plastic) this map is printed on will withstand afternoon downpours, morning drizzles and bike grease as well. This map isn't perfect but I've not seen anything comparable for the active traveler to Costa Rica. Just wish I'd had it twelve years ago. . .
—from Amazon.com reviews Do you publish maps for any other countries? You certainly should. A
map format like yours is a real gem!...so helpful for amenities and
attractions along the way… Your format is so unique, it should be
copyrighted.
—Keep up the great work!
[Editor's note—it is copyright protected, and sorry but we concentrate on getting it right for Costa Rica, and don't publish for any other countries.] Because of the material used, it always folds back correctly unlike paper maps. The map can even be used as a momentary rain shield during one of the many unpredictable rain showers that can come at any time in Costa Rica. Having seen many Costa Rica maps, this one in my opinion is the best one . Great use of detail, color and icons.

I got your map... WOW!!!
Seriously, this is a cool map! I love the material, and from what I saw, it is VERY detailed . In fact, you are the only map I have seen of Costa Rica that has the road between San Pablo de Turrubares and Orotina! All the other maps show no road , while it is a great road in real life!

—Neta T., Owner-La Finca Que Ama, San Pablo de Turrubares, Costa Rica Brilliant. Awesome cartography by the way. Practically art. When I first opened the map I was trying to figure out by what people meant by a waterproof map. I was going to have my wife laminate the map when I noticed the map wasn't really wearing thin in the creases like a typical map. Then I realized that it really is a plastic map, not just laminated. Brilliant. Now I just have to figure the best places to hike and ride next month.

Costa Rica. Or, for that matter any upscale Costa Rican.—J.A., Jorco, Costa Rica I would have paid $100 for this map twelve years ago just for the information about paved roads, something that most map makers are reluctant to include since those roads change so quickly in a place like Costa Rica. Indeed, I headed off to San Jose in March of 1993 with my bike in a box and only a vague idea of road quality around the country. My trip went fine and I discovered some pretty interesting unpaved roads as well. But you are always at an advantage when you have current information. And this map has it. . .
—from Amazon.com reviews —R. Price ... this is really great, well done. I can put a link to your online site on our webpage, as a recommended map of Costa Rica. Also, when I get an opportunity to recommend a map I will always recommend yours.
