 Saw lots of wildlife in Costa Rica November 30, 2007
My girls used this guide constantly on our trip to Costa Rica. Every time we saw a new animal, they had to check it off on their guide. The guide was particularly useful when visiting Cano Negro in the North and Manuel Antonio park in the South. I even saw some of the guides in Manuel Antonio using this same booklet. It is a small fold out made of indestructible plastic. We ended up seeing most of the animals shown.

I'm back from Costa Rica and I can say this booklet is a good resume of what you can see in that wonderful country. On 152 differents species shown on the booklet we saw 16 of them. I will bring it with me on my next trip in hope to see more.

This handy pocket guide has the most frequently seen species, but I expected a bit more. Handy, but not what I expected.

I wasn't holding out much hope for value on this little "brochure" of wildlife but it turned out to be very nice to have. We just returned from a trip to Panama and Costa Rica and the guides - experienced naturalists with National Geographic and also from the parks and the Smithsonian - used it along with others. They are available for different regions and types of wildlife and I purchased two more when I was down there. Easy to carry on a hike, easy to refer to and great for the kids. They are certainly very basic but we were in isolated areas and some of us only got glimpses of an anteater or agouti so as the naturalists were talking about it, we could look at the guide and try to spot it again. Then if I only saw the tail, I knew what it looked like! Hiking up 300-500 ft. on muddy uneven trails with a camera in one hand, binoculars around my neck and a small backpack with water and such, it was hard to pull out a book for reference so if your trip is going to be at all like that, I recommend them.

This booklet was offered as a bundle with another book I purchased. The booklet itself is well done, but not very extensive re: the wildlife of Costa Rica. It seemed to be a bit pricey to me, even at a discounted rate, for what I received.
