LP is the only travel guide
If you're not traveling with the LP, you're missing out. Ditch your lame Moon book, Fofor's and Frommers and get with the gang. I miss you already Costa Rica. Pura Vida.

Great reading but map and photos can fall short
Lonely Planet is always wonderful when you want to read the history and culture of the places you are visiting. However, as a travel guide, the text and map coordination is not great. Often the places mentioned in the text are hard to find or not in the map at all. For example for Quepos, 9 places are listed where we can go to eat (p376), but the map on p374 shows only 4 places. It is also frustrating when a photo can tell the story much better. On p215, it says resplentdent quetzal is the "most famous" bird in the cloud forest, and "This beauty is as colorful and exotic as its name suggests ..." Don't you wish there is a picture of this bird in the book, somewhere?

Verschrammtes Cover und Rückseite - eher Mangelexemplar als neu
An sich super Reiseführer, aber leider kam es total verkratz an. War ein Geschenk und konnte aufgrund von dringender Nutzung nicht getauscht werden. Sollte eher ein „mangenexemplar“ sein. Verkäufer Support wurde mir nicht angezeigt daher hier über die Rezension.

Still ad good as they used to be
Lonely Planet guides helped us around a five month Oz and NZ trip in 1999/2000. With a Costa Rica trip planned for feb 2024, we wanted an actual book to look at to plan our trip and while the web may be helpful, it’s never the same. Please note that this is a 2021 edition; before blowing up at the injustice of being sent an old edition, the next edition isn’t actually out until September 2023. Lovely layout, photos, maps and I’m already immersed in planning our trip. Hard to beat even after all these years.
