Its social security system is called CCSS but is also known as \u201cla CAJA\u201d. Over the last 60 years, La Caja has established more than 250 clinics and 29 public hospitals in Costa Rica that cover all major populated areas throughout the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n The hospital services are available at a low cost to the residents and tourists alike, 365 days a year on a 24-hour basis. However, some CAJA hospitals won\u2019t live up to the expectations of U.S. and Canadian visitors. The public emergency rooms are usually crowded and noisy, and it\u2019s very likely that the available doctors or nurses won\u2019t speak any English. The CAJA system does function, but only if you have a lot of patience and time to wait. On the other hand, private clinics and hospitals provide top-class services and are frequented as main hubs for medical tourism in the country. Private clinics are often recognized for their excellent services and have positive testimonials. Currently, new developers are fostering investments in private clinics and hospitals throughout the country.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Some of the most frequented private hospitals in Costa Rica are:” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Hospital CIMA<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0This hospital is controlled by the International Hospital Corporation of Dallas, Texas.

Even remote towns will have a pharmacy open during work hours. In San Jose and the Central Valley, 24-hour pharmacies are also an option. Keep in mind that it is mandatory to have a prescription for some drugs. Prescriptions from doctors in the U.S. and other countries may be accepted but will most likely need to be translated to Spanish. It is best to arrive prepared with a complete supply of your own prescription drugs in their original prescription container. In case of temporary emergencies, pharmacists are capable of administering injections. They can also provide recommendations for specific medical conditions and check your blood pressure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is it easy to get sunburn, or get dehydrated in Costa Rica?” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Since the climate is generally sunny and tropical, it’s easy to get sunburned or dehydrated. A bad sunburn or dehydration are two ways to put a major kink in any vacation. Make sure you use plenty of sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15 and drink plenty of liquids to avoid such problems.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are there many mosquitoes in Costa Rica? Should I bring bug spray?” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Mosquitoes are common year-round, most active at dusk and dawn; especially in rain forest or rural areas. It’s a good idea to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants if you are going to be hiking or walking in the forest during these times. A good insect repellent sprayed onto your clothing or skin will be effective to keep mosquitoes from bothering you. If you use both sunscreen and insect repellent, apply the sunscreen first, and then the repellent. A DEET-based product is not necessary, but is generally the strongest option you can buy.<\/p>\n Malaria does exist in Costa Rica, as in every other country in Central America, although it is very rare and any outbreak would have made the news. It\u2019s up to you whether you want to bring malaria medication, but most locals and expats get by without it, and thousands of tourists visit each year without using it.<\/p>\n Dengue fever, Chikungunya virus and Zika virus are more common in Costa Rica, however, avoidable by taking the precautions mentioned above as protection against mosquitos. If you develop one or more of the following symptoms seek medical evaluation for treatment: fever, rash, joint and\/or muscle pain, severe eye pain (behind eyes), mild bleeding (nose or gum bleed or easy bruising).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-21vw||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px|80px|0px|80px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|0px|20px|0px|true|true” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ admin_label=”Column” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”28px” custom_margin=”20px|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Beach Safety<\/b><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”20px|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It is important that visitors follow basic safety precautions when enjoying the sun and sand at Costa Rica’s beaches. <\/span><\/p>\n PLEASE be aware of the risks that exist at beaches throughout the country:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” toggle_icon=”;||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_font=”Inter|700|||||||” toggle_font_size=”22px” toggle_line_height=”1.2em” body_font=”Inter||||||||” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_font_size=”18px” toggle_font_size_tablet=”16px” toggle_font_size_phone=”13px” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”16px” body_font_size_phone=”14px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(46,91,97,0.2)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is Costa Rica safe?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Costa Rica is a safe country.

A sweater or light fleece will get you through cooler evenings in San Jose or Monteverde.

It\u2019s important to remember that these are all wild animals. Our slogan is \u201cObservation without Disruption\u201d. When you encounter wildlife, remember we are in their habitat. Sit or stand quietly and enjoy the wonder and brilliance of seeing animals in the wild. Please NEVER try to touch any wild animals and do not feed them. Human food causes serious health problems, especially for monkeys. Every year park rangers find many animals killed by the consumption of human food. Animals can be a danger to you as well. Although they look cute and cuddly, most rainforest animals have sharp teeth and claws and they will not take kindly to being disturbed. Bring your binoculars and your cameras and enjoy the incredible variety of wildlife throughout the country. Help us protect our most valuable natural resource, by respecting each and every wild animal you encounter.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”20px|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Tours\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Is there a weight limit or age limit for adventure tours?<\/b><\/p>\n Please note that some tours have weight, age & size restrictions. Be sure to check descriptions on your itinerary and advise us immediately if you have\u00a0 concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n What should I wear for my adventure tours?<\/b><\/p>\n If you plan on doing any hiking, or partaking in adventure activities, you should plan on bringing comfortable, durable, closed-toed shoes. We recommend Keen or Teva’s, or Sneakers with a sturdy, treaded sole. Footwear is likely to get wet and muddy, so be prepared, and bring along an extra pair of shoes to wear after your activities. During activities such as rafting and waterfall rappelling, you will get wet. Bring a set of dry clothing to store with the outfitter, so that you can change after the tour. Flip flops are not appropriate for any outdoor adventure activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-21vw||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”0px|80px|0px|80px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”30px|20px|30px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”20px|0px|20px|0px|true|true” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ admin_label=”Column” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”28px” custom_margin=”20px|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Roads and Transportation Services\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”20px|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Where are Costa Rica’s airports?<\/b><\/p>\n There are two international airports in Costa Rica – the San Jos\u00e9 International Airport (SJO), which is in Alajuela, and the Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR), which is located in Liberia, Guanacaste. Passing through customs at either of the international airports is relatively stress-free. After collecting your luggage, you continue through a checkpoint where officials pass baggage through an X-ray machine. After this, you’ll be able to leave the terminal and travel to your final destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Are there any fees or taxes for domestic airports?<\/b><\/p>\n Domestic airports: the airports listed below require passengers to pay an arrival and departure fee. To prepare yourself for the trip, remember to have the following amount ready in colones or dollars when arriving to and departing from these airports:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tambor $2.25; Quepos $5 for arrivals, $3 for departures; Arenal $7<\/span><\/p>\n What are the baggage restrictions on domestic flights?<\/b><\/p>\n If you are flying on a domestic airline, you should know that there is a luggage weight limit for each person. If you exceed the limit, the airlines will not allow the extra weight until the plane is full and the exact weight of ALL luggage and passengers is determined. If the flight has reached its maximum weight capacity, to remain within safe parameters for flight, your additional luggage will have to wait for the next available flight. This could be one or two days later so it\u2019s important that you stay within the guidelines set forth by each airline. If the flight still has space for additional luggage and additional weight, you may pay a fee at the time of check-in to allow your extra luggage to travel with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is at the airline’s discretion based on weight and space on the aircraft. The Baggage Policies for the two Domestic Airlines are as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For Skyway:<\/b>\u00a0Up to 40 pounds checked luggage (depending on your ticket type) and one small piece of carry-on luggage not to exceed 10 pounds per person. For additional fees related to overweight or sized luggage, please visit Skyway’s official website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For SANSA Airlines:\u00a0<\/b>40 pounds checked luggage and one small piece of carry-on luggage not to exceed 10 pounds per person. For each extra pound, there is a US $1 fee per pound (Space for extra weight cannot be guaranteed). For additional fees related to overweight or sized luggage please refer to:\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/flysansa.com\/travel-info\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As these are low weight limits, we suggest that you pack light. You can also inquire with your travel consultant about baggage storage. Finally, please remember that you need to be at the domestic airstrip at least 45 minutes before your domestic flight departure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Is it safe to use taxis? How do you know they are official?<\/b><\/p>\n Before you jump in a taxi, there are a few things you should know. Firstly, only use authorized cabs. One of the most important things to remember when taking a taxi in Costa Rica is to use only licensed, authorized cabs. Affectionately known as \u201crojos\u201d due to their cherry-red color, these taxis are easily identifiable and can be flagged down as you would anywhere else in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In some parts of the country, illegal taxis, popularly known as \u2018piratas\u2019, can often be mistaken for authorized cabs, as their drivers make every attempt to appear legitimate. The easiest way to differentiate between a genuine and illegal taxi is to look for the yellow triangle on the vehicle\u2019s doors. Even though they might be a little cheaper, don\u2019t be tempted to take an illegal cab \u2013 stick to the authorized taxis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keep the meter running. In Costa Rican taxis, the meter is known as the \u201cMaria,\u201d and this device is usually mounted on the vehicle\u2019s dashboard. Before setting off on your journey, ensure that the Maria is turned on, as this can eliminate the possibility that you\u2019ll be overcharged for your trip. Be sure to request that the driver turn on the meter (Maria) before you hit the road. Most drivers will not take offense to this request, and it helps keep everything straightforward in terms of what you can expect to pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In terms of rates, most cabs charge around $1 for every two-thirds of a mile traveled or so, making taxis a remarkably cost-effective way of getting around. Tipping is not expected but the little extra money is always welcome. Avoid using big bills, as drivers don\u2019t have a lot of change with them and are reluctant to take anything larger than a $20 US dollar bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n What are the driving times between destinations?<\/b><\/p>\n Travel times can vary significantly between destinations. The average speed limit in Costa Rica is 50 km\/hour. Thus, if the distance between destinations is 200 km, you should plan on it taking about four hours. Our main highways that connect major cities and ports are mostly 2 lanes. There is often truck traffic on the roads which can affect the time it takes to get from one place to another. Getting there is part of the fun, though, so be sure to enjoy the gorgeous scenery and chat with your driver about the local towns you\u2019ll be traveling through. Here is a list of some of the more popular routes with driving times:<\/span><\/p>\n \n What are the roads like in Costa Rica?<\/b><\/p>\n The roads in Costa Rica vary significantly depending on the route you are on. Roads between most destinations are two-lane, paved roads that wind up and around the mountainous terrain throughout the country. If you find yourself driving in the country, it is best to be very alert and drive defensively. Try to avoid driving at night as most roads are not lit and do not have reflective lines. Weather conditions can change quickly and nighttime driving can be dangerous. Some areas and some hotels do not have paved entrances, so chances are at some point you will find yourself along a dirt road during your trip to Costa Rica. Many bridges narrow to a single lane and drivers must be ready to yield and give right of way to oncoming traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n During your first visit to Costa Rica, we generally recommend taking private transportation to get a feel for the driving conditions. This way, the next time that you visit, you will already understand the driving conditions and can decide whether or not to rent a car. Our system of roads in Costa Rica continues to improve each year, but signage is limited and sometimes inaccurate. Vehicles equipped with GPS devices have significantly improved visitors’ ability to tour the country at their own pace. Should you decide to drive, we strongly suggest equipping the vehicle with a GPS unit. For experienced travelers, with a lot of patience; driving on your own can be a fun experience. In general, though, we prefer our guests to enjoy our private transfers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n Rental Cars\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n What are the requirements to rent a car in Costa Rica?<\/b><\/p>\n Requirements: passport, valid driver’s license (a foreign driver\u2019s license is valid in Costa Rica for 90 days, after the last arrival date to the country), and the minimum age to rent a car is 25 years old. Basic insurance for your rental is included in the price. This covers minor damages, scratches, small dents, tires, it is for ONE designated driver only, and is non-refundable. Please note that you will need to pay a refundable deposit directly to the car rental agency via major credit card (Debit cards and cash are not accepted for the deposit) at the time of pickup. This refundable deposit varies from $1,000-$2,500 US depending on the rental car agency, and it covers collision, major damage, and car theft. This deposit will then be returned to you by the car rental agency upon the return of the car. If you would like to add an extra driver or opt for full coverage insurance, please inform the rental company when you pick up your vehicle and you will then pay the price difference directly to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When driving in Costa Rica, make sure you have allowed yourself plenty of travel time between destinations, as the mileage can be misleading. Not all routes have accurate road signs. We strongly advise against driving at night as roads may be unlit, and in some cases, have difficult curves, which can be dangerous. Currently, Costa Rica does not use street names and numbers for addresses in most areas. Costa Ricans use landmarks as reference, to give directions. Keep this in mind when traveling, and decide to stop to ask for directions. Most Costa Ricans will explain location using North, South, East, West and in meters or kilometers, not miles. Landmarks such as buildings, trees and waterways are also often used. Please be advised that there is a risk when leaving unattended luggage or valuables in your rental car. Always lock your vehicle, put personal items out of sight, and try to park in areas where you can see the vehicle. Always check into your hotel first, and unload your luggage before enjoying activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What should I do in case I have a car accident?<\/b><\/p>\n Remember that if you are involved in an accident here in Costa Rica DO NOT MOVE YOUR VEHICLE. By moving your vehicle, even if it is blocking a travel lane, it is accepting responsibility for the accident, whether it was your fault or not. Your rental car agency will leave instructions for you to follow if you are involved in an accident. Make sure to keep those handy during your trip. If people have been injured, please call 911 and proceed to contact your car rental company. If additional assistance is needed, you may also contact TAM Travel Corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What is covered if I rent a car with basic insurance?<\/b><\/p>\n If you plan your vacation with us, included in the price of your vacation is basic insurance for your rental. This covers minor damages, scratches, small dents, tires, and applies for ONE designated driver. The refundable deposit that you will pay directly to the car rental agency (via major credit card) at the time of pickup covers collision, major damage, and car theft. This deposit will then be returned to you by the car rental company upon return of the car. If you would like to add an extra driver or opt for a full coverage insurance, please inform the rental company when you pick up your vehicle, and you will then pay the price difference directly to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fishing License: Do I need one and where to get it?<\/b><\/p>\n Fishing licenses are required for 16 years and older, and only for\u00a0those who actually plan to fish. That is, people who are just going for the ride on the boat do not need a license. Licenses can only be purchased through your travel consultant. We\u00a0will email the license\u00a0as a PDF and you must\u00a0print it out and bring it with you\u00a0on the boat. Cost PER PERSON for a fishing license is US$15 for 7 days, US$30 for 15 days and US$50 for 1 month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n Recommendations for tipping<\/b><\/p>\n When heading out on a sport fishing trip, it\u2019s customary to tip the crew. The customary tip is 15% to 20% of the charter cost. For an exact amount, please ask your travel consultant, and they can provide the cost of the charter.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Bringing fish back to the U.S.A.: Can I take my fish with me?<\/b><\/p>\n In general, our recommendation is to eat and enjoy the fish while you are in Costa Rica. If you do want to take your fish back with you, there are several aspects to consider: 1. There are no processors in Costa Rica. Each traveler would need to package their fish and freeze it themselves, then purchase a cooler to bring it back, as a checked bag. 2. Airlines constantly change the rules. Verifying with the airline if they allow you to transport frozen fish or not is the traveler\u2019s responsibility. 3. U.S. customs may confiscate it. Since Costa Rica is a foreign country, there is no guarantee that customs would clear the fish, and the traveler would be at the mercy of the customs agent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n Phone Services\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \n Calling Costa Rica<\/b><\/p>\n Costa Rica has an international country code of 506 (the US country code is 1), and anyone calling Costa Rica from outside the country needs to apply this code. If you\u2019re calling from the United States or Canada, you need to dial 011 first, which indicates that an international call is about to be made. Failure to do this will place your call to New Brunswick, Canada (area code 506)! Once you dial 011, and then 506, you just dial the number. In order to call the TAM Travel Corporation office from the USA or Canada, you would dial 011-506-4001-6399. That\u2019s the international code of 011, then the country code of 506, and then the telephone number of 4001 6399. This is just an example \u2013 you should never need to call us from the States on this line, as we have a US Toll-Free number that you can call instead. Calling from outside the US or Canada is slightly different, in that the rest of the world has a different international code. This code is either 00 or the + sign (whichever you prefer or available on your phone). If you were calling TAM Travel Corporation from Europe, say, you would dial like this: 00506-4001-6399 or +506-4001 6399.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Calling from Costa Rica<\/b><\/p>\n Calling other countries from Costa Rica is exactly the same: 00 and then the country code (1 for the USA\/Canada) and then the number itself, area code first. To call to Europe (or elsewhere) you dial: 00 + country code + city code + number.<\/span><\/p>\n \n How does the Phone System, Cell Phone Service work in Costa Rica?<\/b><\/p>\n You can make International calls from most hotels. Most calls will have a fee, so do check with the hotel for costs prior to making your call. You may access Skype or WhatsApp on your laptop, smartphone, or Ipad anywhere that there is Wifi. If you are carrying your personal cell phone, it\u2019s best that you check with your service provider in your home country to find out about connectivity and costs. Some phone companies have very expensive fees for utilizing their service inside Costa Rica.<\/span><\/p>\n \n Is it possible to buy prepaid cell phones at the airport?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes, you can buy a Costa Rican \u201cpay as you go\u201d SIM card that will give you a Costa Rican number for the duration of your stay. Progress! Prepaid cell phones are now available at Juan Santamaria International Airport through Kolbi (ICE). If you are arriving at Liberia Airport and would like this service, please coordinate with our Destination Expert Team, and they can make the arrangements with your driver to make a stop at the nearest store that offers this service. In order for this service to work, you must have a phone that is “unlocked” and has a replaceable SIM\/GSM card. Check with your cell provider first, but in general T-mobile and AT&T use the SIM\/GSM technology; Verizon phones do not have SIM cards and thus will not work. An ICE prepaid SIM chip is $20. The approximate value for a call to the US is US$0.30 per minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n Embassies in Costa Rica\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n In the event of an emergency, consular officials can provide support, guidance and other assistance to help you. Here are some of the main embassies in Costa Rica:<\/span><\/p>\n \n These are just some of the embassies located in Costa Rica. Other countries maintain embassies and consulates here, including Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Israel and Poland, to name a few. To find other helpful information about consular services in Costa Rica, and a range of other topics, visit\u00a0<\/span>the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \n Packing List\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n The following list of things to pack for Costa Rica will keep you prepared, and traveling light for any type of Costa Rica itinerary. It also includes a few precautionary guidelines to ensure your personal safety and satisfaction. Follow these tips on what to bring to Costa Rica, and you\u2019ll surely be prepared for a trip of a lifetime!<\/span><\/p>\n \n Official Papers<\/b><\/p>\n\n
