 Here are some tips that may help to make your trip to Costa Rica more enjoyable:
------------------------------------------------------------

• Visitors need a valid passport for at least 6 months to enter to Costa Rica. Some countries also required visa. For more information you may contact the Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate closer to your place.
• Passport is needed if you have to do any banking during your stay, or if you decide to travel to another country from Costa Rica.
• Bring along copies of your passport I.D. page and carry them with you. Keep the original passport somewhere safe.
• Be sure, to advice your credit card company, that you are coming down to Costa Rica. Sometimes as security, after your first charge, they block your card.
• Some businesses don’t take credit cards, and you will find ATM machines only at the major cities.
• You will find better prices if you pay cash, so you better bring some extra. Many places don’t take bills bigger than $20.00.
• If you plan to drive, pick up a Spanish phrase book, you going to need to ask for directions. Of course, this will help everywhere.
• If you rent a car, leave it empty. Some folks also leave the car doors unlocked to prevent broken windows. Follow the instructions the rent a car is going to advice you.
• Don't bring pre-paid calling cards with toll-free numbers. They don't work in Costa Rica. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
• If you bring electronics, Costa Rica uses 110 volts power.
• Most of the tap water in Costa Rica is potable and there is no problem in our area whit tap water.
