I have personally been to Costa Rica many times. In my many travels to this amazing place, I have eaten locally, lodge locally, and enjoyed the many amazing free and cheap places there is to see and do here.

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Costa Rica one day, this audiobook is for you. The name “Costa Rica” translates to “Rich Coast” in Spanish, a perfect term for the treasure you will find along its hundreds of miles of stunning coastlines running alongside the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. But this tropical nation offers much, much, more than its beaches. In fact, it is brimming with beauty and adventure around every corner, with a surprising amount of biodiversity.

Oftentimes, being a budget traveler means that you have to forego a few of your destination’s biggest attractions to stay within your budget, not so in this friendly little country. There are two very important and unique features of a holiday à la Costa Rica. First, it’s one of the most sustainably governed and eco-friendly countries on Earth - so you will leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible while supporting sustainability and the local economy. Second, even with all of the unique, beautiful offerings, you will find here, you can still plan a great budget vacation while enjoying the best the country has to offer!

In this audiobook, you will learn all about how to visit Costa Rica on a budget. I will show you just what to see, what to do, and where to stay.

If there's a print option buy that instead

It seems like there's lots of good information in this book but I don't recommend buying the audiobook. The reader made this a painful listen. After an hour I set it to 1.5x speed and it was barely bearable. Mispronunciations right and left. Gorgeous with two hard Gsr? Apparently no one listened to this and edited the audio. Also, there are lists and specific information in this book that would be more useful in print.
