Costa Rica is one of the most important touristic destinations in Latin America. The country is the most stable in its region and has always shown an important economic development. The section dedicated to this country by the Indigo Guide online guide tries to summarize the most important issues when visiting this nation: history, basic information about the population and its quality of life, weather conditions, air flights, plus sections about specific topics. There are special sections for the gay scene, the possibility to learn spanish, and plastic surgery -this last item being on high demand among US tourists, since medical costs in Costa Rica are much lower.

Destinations are divided in Central Pacific, North Pacific, South Pacific and the Caribbean. The information on every destination is quite basic and is limited mostly to specific info on geography, history and landscapes. Unfortunately, there are no pictures for us to appreciate the beauty of each location. It would also be important to get more useful information for the traveler, such as the availability of hotels in every place, including its prices; tours that can be done around the area; and places to eat and go out to. While the section dedicated to Costa Rica includes a section dedicated to tours and adventure tourism, these references are too general, so we have to do a further research in other sites. If traveling is basically an experience, a travel site should help us build and plan this experience. And in this sense, Costa Rica Indigo Guide falls a little short.
