More About the Author
Biography
Eliot Greenspan is a poet, journalist, and travel writer who
took his backpack and typewriter the length of Mesoamerica before
settling in Costa Rica in 1992. Since then he has traveled almost
ceaselessly around Latin America, writing articles and travel guides to
feed his travel habit. He feels particularly at home in the
Neotropics--in its rain and cloud forests, on its rivers, and in and
under its seas. Eliot has written Frommer's guides to Belize, Costa
Rica, Guatemala, Cuba and Ecuador.
