📣 Traveler notes

Costa Rica is a stable ecotourism destination featuring diverse natural landscapes like rainforests, volcanoes, and beaches. It may be more expensive than other Central American locations.

  • Maundy Thursday / Good Friday (Jueves y Viernes Santo)
  • Use greetings like "buenos días" and polite phrases such as "por favor." Respect the local lifestyle, known as pura vida. Dress respectfully in non-tourist areas (muted colors, long pants). Visitors must also respect nature by avoiding littering, harming flora, or feeding wildlife.
