Travel Off Season

Eat at the family owned restaurants that serve good food. Inexpensive foods that are good on taste are the best you can have while travelling to this beautiful country. Choose those restaurants found in the inner city; mostly less people are dining in for it is not that noticeable to the public but this doesn’t mean you will be served with not good foods. Only be on the lookout and ask the locals of the affordable diners out there.

Drink the Water

Don’t get used to buying bottled water which can cost $1-2 dollars per bottle. Monitor your small purchases which when accumulated can be costly. Water in Costa Rica is safe to drink. But that doesn’t mean you drink whatever water there is, examine first before you drink it.

Dine at Musmanni

Musmanni is a local bakery found all throughout the country. They are like various branches of this bakery that is known to serve delicious breads with sodas. Take a stopover when you see one of its branches as you are travelling. It will save you compared to those fancy restaurants in the city.

Added good thing about travelling on local buses is that you will learn how to talk and mingle with the locals. It is a pretty fun adventure to have, a learning experience for you and a nice way to be one with the people of their country.
