      Hi Sharon!

      You’re welcome to enter Costa Rica with walking sticks, but I’m not sure if your airline will allow you to take them. You may need to check them if they’re not retractable and able to fit in your luggage. I’d recommend reaching out to the airline you intend to fly with to have them confirm whether you can fly with them. 🙂

      Pura vida!
