Description

Created in cooperation with Instituto Geografico Nacional, National Geographic's Costa Rica Adventure Map is designed to meet the needs of all adventure travelers in this tropical tourist hotspot. Indexes of towns and protected areas, such as National Wildlife Refuges and Parks, wetlands, nature reserves and other natural attractions as well as pinpointed recreational, ecological, cultural, and historic destinations are combined with the clearly mapped road network of primary and secondary roads, to help you explore on and off the beaten path. Such specialized content, not available on traditional road maps, makes the map the perfect companion to National Geographic's Costa Rica Traveler Guide or any other guidebook.

Coverage includes the country in its entirety along with many of its islands including an inset map of Cocos Island (Isla de Coco), the UNESCO World Heritage Site. An inset of capital San Jose, provides in-depth detail of the capital, including notable buildings, churches, embassies, parks and churches. Recreation and adventure activities marked along the country's shorelines including areas for surfing, diving and fishing as well as labeled natural features, such as freshwater and saltwater swamps, mangroves and reefs. Background information about the region, traveling regulations and a conservation overview will further enhance your trip preparation.

Every Adventure Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough — capable of withstanding the rigors of international travel.
