Question
Do I need a passport to go?

Question
How does money work there?
Answer
While credit cards (Visa) are accepted almost everywhere, it's still best to have local currency. We recommend ordering Costa Rican colón from your bank. You can also exchange your USD for colón at the airport, but the exchange rate is not as good as it is from a bank. That being said, USD is also accepted most places. Major credit cards like Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in Costa Rica, some places may not accept them. American Express and Discover are also accepted at some businesses, but less frequently.
Question
Will my phone work in Costa Rica?
Answer
Check with your local provider for phone options. Some carriers will have international plans that you can purchase ahead of time. For example, with AT&T, you can use your phone for $10 for every 24 hours of service. You can also opt to not get an international plan and just use your phone via Wi-Fi connection at the hotel which is free.
