@@ADVENTURECAMPitelli You guys visited the two most expensive places in CR .. Monteverde which is unique and beautiful is worth to visit and Tamarindo, most crowded beach i would probably suggest to go to any other place than Tama because of what you guys mentioned and many other reasons.. Scorpions are friendly don't kill them 🙂

On these travel advice videos about Costa Rica, I like to mention to tourists about a uniquely Costa Rican thing - you're in San Jose, or one the suburbs, and come to an intersection and it has a stop sign, AND a traffic light. What to do? Well, if the traffic light is green, you proceed through the intersection, if it's red, you stop until it turns green. The Stop sign is there for the numerous occasions when the electricity goes out, and the traffic light doesn't function. The sign then is to be obeyed. Also, traffic lights just sort of hang there, and are used for all four sides. So, they're difficult to see, and I would suggest you hang back at an intersection to be able to see the light through your windshield when stopped. You can't be a timid or doodling driver down here, I like to refer to driving here, as being defensively aggressive. Pay attention at all times, and don't get distracted. I tell my passengers from up north to not point out anything they find interesting, and let me drive without distractions. I constantly check my mirrors for motos, as they're always surrounding you. This is more applicable to urban areas, which you may never get too. I also drive with a dash cam, it's a witness that doesn't lie, and makes me a better driver because I don't want it recording me doing something stupid if I do need it as a witness. Tico drivers for the most part, are quite courteous, and will allow you in, or to turn at difficult intersections. A quick flash of the emergency lights, a quick beep of the horn, or a thumbs up is their way of saying 'thank you', and you should do the same when you're shown a courtesy.

If you get a flat tire in your rental, especially soon after leaving the airport, and some Ticos pull over to "help" you change your flat BEWARE.Dont ever leave anything in your parked car.Stay vigilante.I know of surfers having their car broke into and their hotel key was taken.When they returned to their hotel the room was cleaned out. And its nothing like going to Hawaii, cheaper for sure.

Regarding scorpions in Costa Rica. Their sting is less painful and less harmful that that of a honey bee.. Since learning of that I like catching them by the tail. is not as cheap as neighboring Panama or Nicaragua, with experience it is very inexpensive. But f I live here and rent a 7 bedroom/5 bath house with 3 car garage on 23 acres foe $161 a month. Lesson learned long ago, rent and do business with Costa Ricans not North Americans here. And taxis charge me less than they do my Costa Rican wife or others. In fact locally taxis all give me free rides knowing I will pay them more than if they asked an amount. I do not drive here. I walk and bike and stay healthy. In rainy weather or over 12 kilometers I am known to take taxis or the bus.. As for Tamarindo , yeah that place is as expensive as Hawaii, caused again by too many North Americans..

Don't pay full price. Tourists pay double what residents pay for adventures. You can very often work out a lower price. Example: a couple girls wanted to go parasailing and the price was $150 for 2 people. I got the price down to $100 for them. Also if you are going to Manuel Antonio you don't need an expensive car rental. You can take a bus to Manuel or Quepos and there use taxis or the local busses. from downtown San Jose the direct bus to Manuel or Quepos is $10. Local busses are around $.50

You do need the MANDATORY liability insurance, which can cost $13 to $25 a day. Most car rental companies will not disclose that online. There are a few that are upfront about this, and I would suggest you rent from them. This is not covered by your credit card insurance. If you can provide a credible source to back up your claim, please do so. Costa Rica is an outlier for renting vehicles. Some credit card companies exclude Costa Rica, or won't permit travel off of a paved road, good luck with that in Costa Rica. You really need to do your homework here, and know exactly what you're getting, and how much it will cost. Also, I believe renting at the airport will cost you $12 a day more? Take pictures or video before driving off indicating all the previous damages. Some companies are notorious for charging for prior damage. Other companies are great to deal with, and may not be the well known international chains. The bad ones are exposed in reviews.

Thanks for sharing! I've been to Costa Rica three times. And I've seen some changes.... The first time I went to Costar Rica was in 1997. They made paper from banana peels adn we would see people really caring for the environment and being sustainable. They were much thinner than now. The restaurants provided typical food and international food (not fast food). When we turned on the radio, we would listen to salsa, merengue, cumbia.... When I went back there in 2011 and then again in 2015, there were lots of fast food restaurants, so a lot of fat people. The music on the radio was in English...It was very difficult to find a place to dance salsa and merengue. They know how important it is to be sustainable and to preserve the nature but, in my opinion it is fundamental to maintain their culture! And about tourists, the most important DON'T is Don't leave trash all around... Pick up your trash!!

Food is fairly cheap. Meat is expensive and horrible. Chicken is cheap as well as pork. Gasoline right now is about $4.50 a gallon, but you don't drive that far. Remember, it's a small country but because the roads are in poor condition, it's takes you a long time to get from point A to point B. Personally I prefer Nicaragua, it's much cheaper but it's a real culture shock to those wanting to live there and Ortega and the government are unstable.
