Costa Ricans value good manners; using formal Spanish greetings is recommended. Frame requests politely and accept the local pace of life ('pura vida'). Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. Dress respectfully, especially away from major tourist areas. Always respect the environment (do not litter, feed wild animals, or damage vegetation). Smoking is banned in all public, commercial, and residential buildings.
