About the Author

Nikki Solano visited Costa Rica in the mid-2000s, immediately fell in love with the near-paradise, and has felt at home in it ever since. With her Costa Rican husband, Ricky, she has made a career out of teaching travelers about her adopted country. In addition to authoring the Moon Costa Rica and Moon Best of Costa Rica guidebooks, she operates Pura Vida! eh? Inc. and runs the Costa Rica Travel Blog, DIY Costa Rica, the Costa Rica Travel Podcast with Nikki Solano, and NikkiSolano.com. Three things she loves about Costa Rica are the feeling of connecting with nature, the rich biodiversity that translates to frequent wildlife sightings, and the widespread practice of sustainable tourism.
