Dedication

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens

can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has .

~ Margaret Mead, American anthropologist

To the men, women, and children around the world who do their

best to conserve and protect our precious environment for future

generations – theirs is the silent green army; and to them, this

book is dedicated.

Acknowledgments

Although Costa Rica is a small country, its diverse geography and

plentiful eco-adventure tourism opportunities made writing a well-

researched guidebook quite a challenge. We could never have done

it without the help of the Costa Rica Tourist Board (ICT) and Deb-

bie Drachner, their resident public relations maven. Thank you all

very much. Individual parks and attractions made themselves

available to us on short notice and we thank them. We are also

grateful to all the Ticos and expats who gave freely of their time

and made us feel so very welcome wherever we went. We must sin-

gle out Allan Templeton in Manuel Antonio and Thomas Douglas

in San José for particular generosity. Linda Gray in Cocos gave us

her time, and our personal thanks for years of friendship and hos-

pitality go to Hilda Castro and family in Cedros.

Then, of course, our gratitude goes to our editor, Kim André, whose

support and encouragement – and fine editing – keeps us on track.

Lastly, we would like to thank you, our readers, for choosing this

guidebook – it’s the highest kind of praise! Gracias .
