Travel tips
Tap drinkable in most of the country; bottled in Caribbean lowlands.
Card in resorts and bigger restaurants; USD widely accepted, CRC for sodas.
Don't leave anything in rental cars — opportunistic theft is the main risk.
4WD essential on the Nicoya peninsula — many beaches reached by gravel.
