Waterproof and tear-resistant map with a plan of central San José, an enlargement for the environs of the capital, and a separate index of place names for each side of the map. The country is divided north/south, with a very generous overlap between the two sides. The map has altitude colouring, with contours above 1000m plus spot heights. Provincial boundaries, railways, and local airstrips and landing grounds are marked. Road network includes seasonal tracks, and indicates locations of petrol stations.

National parks and protected areas are marked, and symbols highlight selected accommodation, archaeological sites, museums, beaches and surfing sites, bird sanctuaries, etc. Latitude and longitude grid is drawn at 15’ intervals.

The map also includes a street plan of San José with names of both streets and districts, and an overprint highlighting accommodation, plus services and places of interest. Enlargements show the environs of the city and the Isla del Coco in greater detail. Each side of the map has a separate index of place names.

This title is available in two versions, printed either on paper or on waterproof and tear-resistant plastic. NB. The waterproof version has a wrong scale (1:300,000) shown on the cover and on one side of the map. The correct scale is 1:330,000, as indicated by the linear representation of it (3cm to 10km) and printed on the paper version of the map.
