Other Important Information
I suggest bringing $200 in cash or less cash if you choose to use a credit/debit card. Bring a minimum of $100 in cash. Costa Rica uses the Colon and also U.S. dollars. Because the use of U.S. dollars is so prevalent, you should not worry about exchanging your money before you get to Costa Rica. When you pay in dollars, you may get back colones in change and can use them as needed. Visa and MasterCard are the most used credit cards followed by American Express. Make sure that you have your PIN number or a card with a chip for them to work. This applies to both credit and debit cards. Call your card company before you leave to let them know where and when you will be in Costa Rica and to find the latest information on your card.
You need a U.S. passport that is valid for the length of your stay. It is recommended that your passport is valid six months beyond your stay.
You do not need a visa for this trip to Costa Rica.
No special shots or vaccines are necessary for this tour.
