This is a folding, plastic laminated (this is the newest type of B&B map which can be marked on and wiped off), 2 sided map which should hold up well on the beach and in your rental car. Unfolded it measures approximately 19 x 26 inches, folded size is approximately 4 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches. The editorial is in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German and includes a small amount of background info, a weather chart, and locations of many points of interest.
This map features a large map of Costa Rica on one side, and smaller detail maps of the Meseta Central and San José on the other.
This is considered a road/tourist map, and we would recommend it to both those renting a car and exploring the towns and cities mentioned by foot. At left is the map cover. The scale is 1: 650 000
