Do I need to get any vaccines before traveling to Costa Rica?

Yes! The CDC recommends that travelers to Costa Rica get the Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines before traveling to the country. Check out the CDC website for great info on staying healthy during your vacation. ****The typhoid vaccine is a series of 2 vaccines that need to be administered 6 months apart, so you’ll need to get the first shot in March!!!*** https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/costa-rica *Many pharmacies provide travel consultations and immunizations.

Question

What will the weather be during that time?

Answer

It’s rainy season, so you’ll want to be prepared for some precipitation. It will also generally be in the 80s (Fahrenheit) - low 30’s (Centigrade) - during the day with high humidity. Fewer clothes to pack! Seriously though, our wedding planner says not to bother wasting space packing a sweater as the night lows are in the mid- to high-70’s and the humidity is high.

Question

When are Briony and Brian arriving?

Answer

We are arriving in San Jose on Saturday, September 28 and will stay the night at the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen in Heredia. They have an airport shuttle and their rooms start at $147 per night. We will be heading out the next morning to Manuel Antonio and the villas.

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding?

Answer

We are requesting dressy beach wear, meaning something that you are comfortable getting a little sandy but that also looks somewhat dressed up. Since we consider you all to be standing up in our wedding, perhaps you would consider wearing something navy blue, coral, or (rose) gold to match our color scheme? This is not required but would look cool in photos!
