‘Explore Costa Rica’ Book Giveaway.
Costa Rica is about as green as it gets.
A country that pretty much pioneered the concept of ecotourism, Costa Rica is a green traveler’s paradise. It might be a tiny country (approx 0.1% of the world’s landmass) but it contains approx 5% of the world’s biodiversity, mostly because around 25% of the country’s land area is protected national parks.
It’s even home to the world’s greenest airline.
So I think it’s pretty exciting that Traveling the Green Way’s very first book giveaway is Explore Costa Rica by Harry S. Pariser.
Award-winning travel guide author Harry S. Pariser takes the reader on an easy to read and user friendly tour of Costa Rica in this comprehensive guidebook that combines personal experience and insight with solid information about all where to go, what to do and how to get there. There’s plenty of background information about Costa Rica’s history, geology, culture, rainforests, and wildlife. Plus it covers everything from nature lodges to bed and breakfasts, from national parks and forests to historical sites, from places to dine to places to shop, and all things in between.
It’s a must have guide for anyone who has ever thought about going to Costa Rica. It’s over 600 pages of useful and entertaining information will simply make you want to hope on a plane and take off for Costa Rica.
Explore Costa Rica is available online at Manatee Press.
Check out the table of contents and read a review.
You can enter the ‘Explore Costa Rica’ book giveaway by simply leaving a comment below anytime until Friday 22nd August. Only one catch - you have to be a US Resident (or have a US address). Winner will be chosen by a random number selector.

Costa Rica is really one of the three places I absolutely want to visit while I’m still living in the USA (the other two are the Canyons and New York). I would be absolutely delighted to read the book!

This would make the perfect gift for our neighbors (and friends, not trying to get them to leave the country permanently!) Even if I don’t win, this goes on the list for Christmas presents. Thanks!
