    Is this price in USD? or Colones?

    I have found no evidence of such, so I guess they do not exist, but is it possible to buy a pass for the national parks that covers entrance fees to multiple parks?

      Hey Patrick!

      What a wonderful idea that would be! It certainly would help encourage further exploration of some of Costa Rica’s most prized locations.

      To answer your question, I don’t believe there is such a pass for the national parks. 🙁 There’s a multi-museum pass for San Jose’s museums, though, in case you plan to spend time in the capital at all.

      Pura vida! 🙂

    Hello,

    Thanks for the informative article!

    I’m wondering, do these fees apply to Costa Rican nationals as well? If not, would you happen to know if there is much difference in the fees for locals vs. foreigners?

    Thank you

      Hi James!

      The fees noted in our article are for foreign visitors. Costa Rican nationals (who can provide a valid cedula) pay less to enter national parks, reserves, and refuges. Prices for nationals vary but generally range $1-5 USD (i.e., anywhere from one-fifth to one-tenth the price paid by foreigners).

      Pura vida! 🙂

    Just curious, what the admission fee is for the hot springs in Costa Rica.

    Thanks!

      Hey Kate!

      Thank you so much for reporting back about your experience! For future readers, the difference between the $11.30 that this commenter paid and the $10.00 fee that’s stated in our article above is the government’s 13% tax (i.e., $1.30).

      Pura vida! 🙂
