Last Minute Sales & Specials

Costa Rican tourism has never been higher, but with so many attractions, it's important to make the most of a visit. Written by a team of local experts, "Time Out Costa Rica" offers complete coverage of the country's natural destinations, from beaches, rainforests, and active volcanoes to 25 national parks and countless wildlife refuges and reserves. Here too are independent picks of boutique hotels, wildlife lodges, and luxury hotels, as well as bars, restaurants, and resources. For each destination, the writers identify the best, the worst, the most fashionable, and the most overrated. Emphasizing how to enjoy this beautiful but fragile country in the most eco-friendly way possible, the guide includes smart surveys of Costa Rica's often overlooked Caribbean culture -- its unique food, calypso music, and nontraditional medicine.
