  Zeer gedetailleerde kaart van Costa Rica met stadsplattegrond van de hoofdstad van Costa Rica. Misschien wel de beste kaart! Gedrukt op scheur- en watervast papier.

  Double-sided, waterproof, tear-resistant and with a street plan of central San José, the NGS Costa Rica Adventure Map was produced in cooperation with the Instituto Geográfico Nacional, Costa Rica’s national survey organization.

  The country is divided east/west, with a generous overlap between the two sides. Topography is shown by contours at 100m intervals, enhanced by relief shading and spot heights. Along the coast reefs, rocks and shallow water areas are marked. The map indicates various types of vegetation: forests, palm forest, mangrove, and fresh or salt water swamps. Road network includes gravel tracks and indicates roads passable only in summer. Railways and local airstrips are marked, as well as the country’s internal administrative boundaries together with names of the provinces.

  The map highlights seven different types of protected areas: national wildlife refuges, protection zones, wetlands, national parks, forest reserves, biological reserves, and absolute nature reserves, plus national monuments, all listed in a special index. A UTM grid is printed on the map, plus latitude and longitude margin ticks at 10' intervals.

  The map includes a street plan of central San José, naming principal streets and districts, and highlighting various places of interest to visitors. Also included are enlargements for Isla del Coco, Isla del Caño, an overview map of Central America, and an index of selected towns.

  Graced with bounteous natural beauty Costa Rica has become a popular destination for travelers from all over the world. Birds play a prominent role in attracting visitors, too. The shimmering quetzals, gaudy macaws, and comical toucans that populate tourism posters only begin to hint at the impressive avian diversity to be found throughout this small country. The principle objective of this book is to help you correctly identify birds in Costa Rica. Each family of birds is introduced by a brief description that should help the novice birder determine to which group a bird belongs. Nearly every species is illustrated by one or more images, as needed. Corresponding to each species' illustration is a written account on the facing page. The account begins with the unique field marks to look for that will distinguish each species from similar ones. Following the description of unique markings is information about how common a species is and where it occurs geographically. To the left of most accounts is a thumbnail map of Costa Rica showing the species' range within the country. Many species accounts include a description of vocalization.
