Tips to Make Your Trip to Costa Rica the Best Adventure of Your Life

If you are planning to get to know "Central American Switzerland", it is ideal to know what awaits you when you hit Costa Rican soil

To go back, to discover, to dream, to know, to recognize, to learn and to grow is only a little of what you acquire when traveling; taking your bags, your spirit and launching yourself into adventure is one of the greatest pleasures that exist, not only for the body, but for the spirit and the mind.

Six continents, different flavors, thousands of smells, millions of experiences … the world is the perfect stage to be what you want to be.

In the center of the American continent is Costa Rica, a small country bathed by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, known for being the nation with the highest biodiversity per square kilometer in the world, making it one of the most visited tourist destinations by the inhabitants of North America, as much for its lush rainforests, as for its paradisiac beaches.

That is why on this occasion we share details to make your trip through Costa Rica the best trip, shared by someone who knows the country and its customs perfectly:

โ€œDo not take taxis at the airportโ€

The first thing to know is that the official taxi service (orange) from the airport Juan Santamaria is extremely expensive, you can take a very safe bus that will leave you in the town of Alajuela or San Jose for just a dollar. Even tourists who have already visited Costa Rica do so after having learned their lesson.

โ€œThe National Parks and their entranceโ€

If you have Costa Rican friends it is best that they accompany you when you want to go to a national park; generally the entrance to these sites costs between one thousand and two thousand colonies (two and four dollars) for nationals, whereas for foreigners it can cost between 15 and 20 dollars, a very high price. If you go with a local and he speaks it is sure to only pay the price to nationals.

โ€œSearch for tour agencies on Facebook or any social networkโ€

The best-known agencies in the country are also the most expensive, but considering that tourism is the most important source of income in Costa Rica, it is no surprise that hundreds of people have small businesses to guide people through magnificent places for half the price that big companies offer.
