As a travel agent, I recommend several guides and books to help you prepare for your journey to Costa Rica. For practical information, maps, routes, and attractions, use guides such as Lonely Planet “Costa Rica”, Fodor’s “Essential Costa Rica”, or Moon “Costa Rica”. If you are interested in nature, wildlife, and flora, illustrated rainforest guides or birdwatching guides are extremely useful, as Costa Rica is a true paradise for bird lovers. For cultural and historical context, introductory books about Costa Rican history and culture, as well as travel stories written by authors who lived in Costa Rica, will help you better understand the “Pura Vida” lifestyle. Before departure, a small Spanish phrasebook is also recommended to make communication easier with locals in restaurants, hotels, and during excursions.
