Pros: The only map and driving directions you'll ever need in Costa Rica
Cons: Be sure to order well in advance of your trip!
On our first trip to Costa Rica, my friend and I decided to rent a little Isuzu Trooper and give ourselves some traveling independence. In two weeks, we covered a lot of ground: from San Jose to the misty moonscapes of the Poas Volcano, to a journey...
