Environmental Protection
A total of 25% of the country is protected within various protection categories. Thanks to the support of private reserves, this number continues to grow. Few countries in the world have put as much effort into the environment as Costa Rica. The country has invested heavily to ensure the well-being of current and future generations. Evidence of this is the international recognition and the natural places.
Know the Culture
In Costa Rica, folkloric celebrations and cultural events reflect the nation’s diverse ideologies and hopes, as well as the desires, concerns, and emotions of the Costa Rican people. They make us think about cultural diversity, assimilation, and the mixing of cultures. This finds expression in activities that are important to the community, such as the festivals celebrated by the indigenous population for sowing and harvesting.
Climate
The Costa Rican climate is tropical to subtropical and is strongly influenced by the altitude and the function of the Cordillera as a continental divide that divides the country into a constantly humid Atlantic region and an alternately humid Pacific region. In principle, Costa Rica can be visited all year round, with a few restrictions! There are only two seasons: the so-called rainy season from around May to November and the dry season from around December to April. Even during the dry season, depending on the region you are visiting, it can rain for an hour or even for a whole day. During the rainy season, you experience real “tropical downpours” for around 2 – 3 hours in the afternoon; the rest of the day is usually sunny. Heavier rainfall can be expected in October/November. On the Caribbean side, the situation is roughly the opposite: June to October and January to March are relatively dry; precipitation is generally significantly higher in the Atlantic area of influence.
Passport requirements
Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into India. Your passport should have 2 blank pages for your visa.
Check your return flights
Occasionally, airlines are bound to change your flight schedule, so check your flight schedule 24 hours before departure through the airline’s website.
Travel Insurance
If you do not have appropriate travel insurance before you travel, you could be liable for cancellations, and emergency expenses, including medical treatment, which may cost thousands of pounds. You should buy your travel insurance as soon as you know your travel dates. That way you’re covered if your trip is canceled before you even leave or if you’re unable to travel at all.
Do not drink the local water
Buy bottled instead. Avoid street food but if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, only buy street food that has been cooked hot and hasn’t been sitting out. Buy fruits and vegetables that are whole (not cut open) and that you can wash and peel.
