Book Reviews of Costa Rica (Country Guide)
Book Review: If only there was a way to give this zero stars
Summary: 1 Stars
I have, as I've always done when I travel, stayed in more touristy places(always safer) which this guide would make out to be an absolute nightmare. I stayed in Jaco and loved it,.. I wasn't there much. I had a rent a car and went exploring other places and even stayed in different places off the beaten path using Jaco as my base of operations. Yes I agree that Jaco was probably beautiful and serine at one point in time, however I wouldn't trade the safety in numbers for a cabin in the woods,..never! I would consider myself well traveled and if you are too, you already have the powers of deduction and probably don't need the obvious stated to you. Have fun and enjoy Costa Rica without big brother telling you your contributing to the destruction of the country. I assure you the locals would rather have our money. Are Americans destroying the country, or is it the locals trying to feed their families pandering to tourists? The answer is neither Mathew Firestone, that's the word we live in and if you need to indulge your lust for poverty and untouched beauty than I have a suggestion for you, Somalia. It is still very untouched by American tourism and is a beautiful country to boot!
