C OSTA Rica, the most charming and beautiful of the 
Central American republics, deserves to be better known 
by the tourist in search of rest, health, an ideal climate, 
scenic beauty and tranquillity, rather than the somewhat 
hectic life, usually by night, which is generally associated with 
the countries which line the Caribbean Sea* 
Those persons who visit Costa Rica for a short time 
usually leave it only with regret and With an instinctive 
desire to return later for a more lengthy stay* In this respect 
Costa Rica is truly "different”* To visit the countries of the 
Spanish Main and not include Costa Rica in one's itinerary is 
merely denying oneself the piece tfe resistance of the whole trip, 
as this little booklet will attempt to prove* 
Costa Rica is well served with steamer and airplane 
services* The majority of American visitors usually come via 
the Panama Canal and Cristobal from New York, New Or¬ 
leans, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc*, landing at either Punr 
tarenas on the Pacific coast or Puerto Limon on the Atlantic 
side.
