Costa Rica Wildlife Field Guides
|
If
you are interested in learning more about
Costa Rica's diverse wildlife, we highly
recommend purchasing a field guide for your
holiday. Having a field guide during your
travels will help you easily identify even
cryptic species and provide you with insights
into their natural history. I
highly recommend these resources as they will be
a valuable source of information during your
travels.
We
currently have three field guides for
sale which focus on the animals of Costa Rica.
These books are published through Zona
Tropical/Cornell University Press, the gold
standard for Costa Rica field guides, and they
all contain a wealth of knowledge.
We are selling each book for
$30. If you would like to purchase two titles we
can offer you a rate price of $50 for both books.
If you would like to purchase all three books we
can offer you a rate price $70. Let us know if you
would like any of the books so that we can set
aside your copies and bring them to you the night
of the tour.
