Top tips for visiting Costa Rica

Embrace and come with a desire to learn the culture – Costa Rica will probably be like no other place you’ve been before, the majority of locals are very friendly and very happy a lot of the time, so some people are taken a back by this. So don’t be shocked it’s just how it is!

Learn some basic Spanish – although a lot of Costa Ricans speak English, there’s some that don’t, so try and learn a few words before you get here. It’ll help you out a lot and the locals do appreciate you speaking in their native tongue.

Get out of your resort – sounds obvious, but make sure you explore this wonderful country! It’s one of the most naturally diverse countries in the world, so whilst you might enjoy lounging about on a sun lounger, you should make sure you explore as much as possible on a Costa Rican adventure holiday.

The public transport is cheap, but it’s not always reliable or the fastest. I’d recommend the shuttle buses services we have here. They’re much comfier and much more reliable.

Bring some ear plugs – if you’re staying near or in the jungle, whilst it is amazing, it can get noisy at night sometimes. So bring some earplugs, just in case.
