The dry season (December-April) offers sunny weather, but the green season (May-November) brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists. Both have unique advantages!
US dollars are widely accepted alongside colones. Credit cards work in most places, but carry cash for small towns and local vendors. ATMs are readily available.
Renting a car gives you freedom to explore, but roads can be challenging. Domestic flights, shuttles, and public buses are affordable alternatives for longer distances.
Costa Rica is generally safe, but use common sense. Don't leave valuables in cars, be aware of your surroundings, and follow local guidance for wildlife encounters.
Respect nature and local communities. Choose eco-certified tours, avoid single-use plastics, stay on marked trails, and never feed or touch wild animals.
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, rain gear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable hiking shoes. Don't forget your camera for those incredible moments!
