Every country has peculiarities and certain rules of behavior. If you do not want to stand out from the general mass of visitors, then it is worth studying some tips on staying in this country:

When going for a walk around the city or on a tour, you should always have your passport or a copy of it with you.

Although tap water in Costa Rica is relatively clean, visitors should opt for bottled water.

Before traveling, a malaria vaccination will not be unreasonable.

Going on an excursion to one of the volcanoes, it is recommended to wear not only comfortable shoes, but also clothes that completely cover the body.

Costa Ricans start their day very early, so don't be surprised if some establishments are closed as early as 16:00. Even some restaurants close at 22:00.

Hotels will add a 10% service tax and a 3% tourist tax to your bill.

In most hotels, the mains voltage is only 110V. When going on vacation to this exotic country, do not be lazy to bring an electrical adapter.
