Quanto è sicuro?
4/5
Safest country in Central America. Tourist areas are well-managed. San José has petty crime. Beach areas are generally safe. Wildlife encounters (snakes, crocodiles) are the unique risk.
A quali truffe dovrei fare attenzione?
Rental car break-ins at beach parking lots — never leave valuables in car.
Taxi overcharging from airport — use official orange taxis or Uber.
Timeshare presentations at tourist areas.
Quali precauzioni sanitarie sono consigliate?
Good healthcare — Costa Rica has universal healthcare and excellent private hospitals.
Dengue and Zika present — use mosquito repellent.
Tap water is safe in most areas.
Quali vaccinazioni sono obbligatorie?
Hepatitis A recommended.
Routine vaccines up to date.
L'acqua del rubinetto è potabile?
Tap water is safe in most of Costa Rica — one of the few Central American countries where this is true.
Ci sono avvisi di viaggio attivi?
Riptides on Pacific coast beaches — swim only where locals swim. Crocodiles near river mouths (Tárcoles River bridge is famous). Don't leave anything in rental cars.
Le informazioni sulla sicurezza sono basate su avvisi di viaggio disponibili pubblicamente. Consultare il servizio di consulenza di viaggio del proprio governo per le indicazioni più aggiornate.

Cosa conviene fare?
Say 'Pura Vida' — it means everything from hello to goodbye to 'life is good.'
Visit Monteverde cloud forest and Arenal volcano.
Try casado (set meal), gallo pinto (rice and beans), and fresh fruit.
Cosa conviene evitare?
Don't flush toilet paper — put it in the bin (plumbing can't handle it in many places).
Don't touch wildlife — even friendly-looking monkeys can bite.
Don't skip the Pacific AND Caribbean coasts — they're very different.

10% service charge usually included on restaurant bills. Additional 5-10% for good service appreciated. Tip tour guides $5-10 per person.

Casual and practical. Lightweight, quick-dry clothing. Rain jacket essential year-round. Hiking boots for trails.
