Traveling to a foreign country can be an amazing experience. However, there are standard safety rules you should always follow. Remember these straightforward rules you can head out with confidence that you are taking all the measures to make your vacation a stress free one.

Costa Rica accepts both American dollars and the currency of Costa Rica, which are colones. Traveler’s checks are accepted in a few places but it’s not advised. Many of the restaurants and hotels will not accept traveler’s checks due to the length of time they take to clear the bank.

If you want to travel with traveler’s checks, it’s best to make a stop at the bank when you arrive in Costa Rica, wherever you destination is, and exchange them for dollars or colones. Do not ever exchange money on the street and write all the numbers of your traveler’s checks down and keep them separate from your checks.  Read more...

Costa Rica is becoming an increasingly popular vacation destination. With that fact, we felt like it was important to share information that could be important to you for your next Costa Rica vacation. Keep in mind that laws and other things change over time so it’s best to do your research.

As with most boarder crossing, it is required for you to present a passport. Central America is no different when traveling through its amazing destinations. Once you reach your final destination, it is ok to just copy your passport and the stamp page then leave your passport in the safe at your hotel.

If you choose to rent a car in Costa Rica, be sure that you bring your current driver’s license and carry your passport copy with you at all times.
