Then, journey to Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean coast, accessible by boat, to witness the nesting of sea turtles (seasonal).

Consider exploring the Nicoya Peninsula for its laid-back beaches and surfing opportunities. With a month, you can delve deeper into specific regions based on your preferences.

    The Costa Rican colón (CRC) is the official currency.

The Caribbean coast, particularly Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, offers a different vibe with its Afro-Caribbean culture and lush rainforests.
  • Is Costa Rica safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, Costa Rica is considered safe for solo travellers, including women, but like any country, it's wise to take standard safety precautions.

  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents in Costa Rica?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and contact your embassy or consulate. They will guide you through the process of obtaining emergency travel documents and reporting the loss to the relevant authorities. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separate from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Costa Rica special?

    Costa Rica celebrates many festivals throughout the year. The Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) in San José is a vibrant parade with colourful floats and music. Dia de la Independencia (Independence Day) on 15 September is celebrated nationwide with parades and festivities.
