1. Not as shoddy as their neighbors
Most vital thing first – Costa Rica is not shoddy and this is a standout amongst the most critical things to think about Costa Rica for guests. Numerous individuals expect that since it's in Central America, that it consequently squares with shabby travel. Not a chance. That is a colossal regular misinterpretation of the nation. Yes, its northern neighbor, Nicaragua is extremely inexpensive however it's is likewise one of the poorest nations on the planet so you can extend your cash exceptionally far there.
Numerous individuals don't understand that and bunch Costa Rica attractions in that gathering, so it's somewhat of a terrible stun when they discover visits can without much of a stretch expense $100, sustenance is the same cost as North America and gas is almost twice as much as the US. Without cautious arranging and planning, you can blow through hundreds, if not a thousand dollars decently fast.
2. It's a little nation however it takes longer than it appears to get around
Costa Rica is somewhat littler than West Virginia so it's anything but difficult to think you can street trip the entire nation in a week. Actually you can, yet believe me, that wouldn't be extremely fun! This is on the grounds that the streets in Costa Rica are never as the crows fly and with stand out path in a large number of the courses, activity and blockage from moderate trucks is exceptionally normal.
This is one of the errors to keep away from when making a trip in Costa Rica to ensure your outing is without push. Try not to attempt to drive all over the place in a short outing, don't book a twelve flight in the event that you need to drive from Guanacaste to San Jose that morning since you never realize what will happen out and about!
3. Faucet water is protected to drink
In the urban areas and most touristic destinations, you can in reality drink the faucet water. Inns will show whether the water is protected and visit aides will tell you which fixtures to utilize. Yeison grew up drinking faucet water in Heredia, be that as it may I have had a couple of issues changing in accordance with it since I never drank faucet water in the US.
4. Dengue is the principle malady from mosquitoes
Mosquitoes beyond any doubt know how to get the spotlight with regards to wellbeing news. There are a few tropical ailments from mosquitoes and Costa Rica has reported instances of Malaria, Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya. Notwithstanding, before you begin disposing of Costa Rica as a nation to visit due to mosquitoes, do some examination.
The mosquito borne ailment voyagers ought to worry about in Costa Rica is Dengue Fever. Costa Rica has been driving Central America with the most reported instances of dengue, with more than 17,000 cases in 2015 and almost 8,000 so far in 2016.
It's a colossal misguided judgment that Costa Rica is wild with Malaria and Zika. Truth be told, Costa Rica has had a 90% lessening in Malaria cases somewhere around 2000 and 2010 and there were just 8 reported cases in 2012. Concerning Zika, there have been just a couple reported instances of voyagers falling sick with Zika in the wake of returning home from Costa Rica however the illness is not spreading like untamed life as the news makes it out to be.
Do take note of that mosquitoes by and large don't live above heights of 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), so the more terrible regions are at the shoreline and the wilderness.
5. It gets icy!
Costa Rica encounters normal tropical climate yet it has numerous miniaturized scale atmospheres. It doesn't snow yet it gets entirely icy in a few ranges because of the rise and the biological communities. Despite the fact that it's a tropical nation, it gets nippy when you're up 3,000 meters in the mists!
A portion of the colder territories are Monteverde, Poas and San Gerardo de Dota where temperatures can get down to the 50's Fahrenheit. You'll certainly require a coat for those spots and bring considerably hotter garments for stormy season. When we were in Monteverde in August, I was frigid when it rained and required a sweatshirt. We used to live in the slopes outside of Heredia and I would utilize a thick Korean cover during the evening!
6. US dollars are promptly acknowledged
Visit organizations by and large favor US dollars and quote visits in dollars since lion's share of their voyagers are US natives. Numerous organizations in Costa Rica are possessed by Americans and Costa Ricans can have financial balances in USD so organizations are accustomed to managing dollars which have turned into the standard money in tourism.
So when you're attempting to get your cash together, don't stretch about trading it all heretofore. Individuals have inquired as to whether they ought to trade to colones before they go to Costa Rica, yet it isn't generally fundamental. You can utilize dollars in basically every touristic destination and they will give you your change back in colones.
