Money Exchange

You will be able to exchange your money when you land in Costa Rica at the airport. Most places you will go will accept CC as form of payment. Local vendors like farmers markets or local soda shops may only accept their currency (colones) so please keep that in mind. Depending on the length of your trip we recommend to have at least $100-200 in colones. And if you have a few bucks left over, this makes a great souvenir! There will be atms all over the city of Uvita as well.

Rental Car

*Renting a 4x4 vehicle is required* CR has a lot of gravel roads that are steep! You will need a 4x4 vehicle to get to our venue. AND I know… we couldn’t have made this harder on you.. we’re sorry but promise it will be WORTH it ;) We have worked with numbers of rental car companies and have had really good experiences with each of them. We recommend Adobe Rent A Car first. But have also had positive experiences with budget, thrifty, Alamo and enterprise. *We have read that lots of travelers use ADOBE RENT A CAR- company and they seem to be very reputable and transparent about fees. After making your online reservation for your car, once you get to the airport in CR you will reach an area after getting your luggage with all the rental car companies and they will shuttle you to their office to get your car.

Getting Round

You will need to download the app Waze. Google maps and Apple Maps will NOT work in Costa Rica. There also are not physical addresses there. They go by landmarks and coordinates. You should be able to search Uvita and the venue to find your way through Waze. We will provide a more detailed description of how to get around and navigate closer to the wedding.
