Frequently Asked Questions about unique stays in Costa Rica

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Costa Rica?

    For hidden gems, consider exploring Corcovado National Park for its incredible biodiversity, the less-visited beaches of the South Pacific like those near Drake Bay, or the cloud forests around Monteverde, venturing beyond the main tourist trails. The Tenorio River and its stunning Rio Celeste waterfall are also relatively less crowded than other popular waterfalls.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Costa Rica?

    That depends on your destination within the country. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José is the largest and most convenient for central locations and many tours. However, if you're heading to Guanacaste, Liberia International Airport (LIR) is a much closer and faster option.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Costa Rica, cash or card?

    While credit cards are increasingly accepted in tourist areas, it's always best to carry some colones (CRC), the local currency. Smaller businesses and vendors in more rural areas may only accept cash.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Costa Rica?

    Road conditions vary greatly. Well-maintained highways connect major cities, but many smaller roads can be rough, winding, and unpaved. Driving habits are often more relaxed than in North America; be prepared for unpredictable driving and slower speeds.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Costa Rica?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station (Fuerza Pública) and then contact the nearest embassy or consulate of your country. They will guide you through the process of obtaining emergency travel documents.
  • Where in Costa Rica should you spend a week to experience the best of the country?

    A week could allow for a diverse experience. You could spend a few days exploring the rainforests and cloud forests near La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano area), then head to Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast for beautiful beaches and wildlife. This combines adventure and relaxation.
  • Where in Costa Rica can you have the best weekend experience?

    For a quick getaway, consider the beaches of Tamarindo in Guanacaste for surfing and nightlife, or the Pacuare River Lodge for a luxurious and adventurous experience white-water rafting.
  • Does Costa Rica have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    Uber is not officially operating in Costa Rica. However, there are local ride-hailing apps like Didi and similar services that are available in many urban areas.
