This is a wonderful list. We learned all these things while living for 8 months there in Manuel Antonio. It is nice to know things have not changed. We will be back soon!

I think it all depends on how you handle yourself when you are at a new place. I have written a similar article from Indian point of view as many tourists would believe that India is a risky place to be, but there are some precautions that we can take and avoid such accidents. By the way, this was a great article. Informative and straight to the point. 🙂

Hi pathbreakingwriter!
Well said, and we agree: locals have a greater awareness and understanding of risk, which is why it’s important for foreign visitors to seek advice and gather information from reliable, local sources prior to traveling. We strive to be this source for Costa Rica travelers. Thanks so much for your compliments! 🙂

True about Costa Rica!
I am in love with this place as I recently shifted to this place with my family and all thanks to the Lake Arenal Real Estate & Construction who helped in buying the best accommodation in Costa Rica-

Always check your receipts when you go to the mall (make sure they give you one) went to Oxígeno Human Playground in San Jose, and was charged $35.00 USD for 1 scoop of ice cream at Yogurtini (no wonder staff was laughing at us) and also ripped off $160 USD for 2 expired Ofra Lipsticks at Republic Cosmetics. It is very unfortunate but a reality that a lot of the places we visited took advantage of us as foreigners.

Hi Lisa!
Oh no, that’s awful! $35USD for a scoop of ice cream and $160USD for two lipsticks? Did you pay those prices, or were you able to catch and question the amounts when they were requested? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of examples of price gouging quite like that. Those amounts are outrageous, and I’m so sorry that was your experience here!
